Why is it so important that we give our children opportunity for free play?
How could sending my child to an enrichment activity possibly harm their development?
Joan Almon explores the rational behind the “play principle”…
“creative play is a central activity in the lives of healthy young children.
It helps children weave together all the elements of life as they experience it. It allows them to digest life and make it their own. It is an outlet for the fullness of their creativity, and it is an absolutely critical part of their childhood. With creative play, children blossom and flourish; without it, they suffer a serious decline.”
