Home Project: I went to a Child Development class this last week and had a great time learning about children and how they learn. One thing they stressed a lot is how important play is in how children learn. We may think they are just “playing” but for a child this is their work. We need to give children the opportunities in their day for uninterrupted play. But in the same token we should be a playmate. It’s hard to give them our time everyday for play but I want to challenge you to find a few minutes everyday to join with them in their play. Don’t take over the play let the child direct you. Give them the floor and let them tell you how to play.
