It’s in the giggles, the tiny chases, the way they look back to see if you’re still watching. Play isn’t just fun — it’s how children ask, “Are you with me?” And how we, as mothers, silently answer, “Always.” This episode of அடையாளம் is about விளையாட்டு — not just as fun, but as a language. A language where eye contact replaces words, where tiny hands find comfort in yours, and where a mother becomes both a playmate and a world. In today’s fast-paced life, play often gets scheduled, outsourced, or backgrounded. But back then — play was presence. It was slow. Intentional. Full of song, movement, and joy that didn’t need toys with batteries. This moment is for that. For slowing down to speed up connection. For remembering that the best kind of play doesn’t come from a screen — it comes from us. Because in their earliest memories, we won’t just be the ones who fed and cleaned. We’ll be the ones who played.
