How our children REALLY learn and why they need to play more and memorize less.
“PLAY is to early childhood education what gas is to car. It is the very fuel of every intellectual activity our children engage in. Researchers are in universal agreement that PLAY provides a strong foundation for intellectual growth, creativity, and problem solving. It also serves as a vehicle for emotional development, for the development of essential social skills. In the century, creative problem solvers, independent thinkers, and people with expert social acumen will inevitably surpass those who have simply learned to get the right answers.”
