Play is an important part of learning, and parents can help. It’s no secret that kids love to play, but there’s much more to play than having fun. In fact, play is an excellent way to learn, both in structured and unstructured environments. In addition to promoting curiosity, exploration and creativity, play provides children with the opportunity to practice important executive function and self-regulation skills like paying attention, inhibiting their impulses and remembering and updating information. Play is the work children do when they are developing. In play, children are practicing the roles and skill sets of their burgeoning literacy, inventiveness and interconnectedness. Because it’s so important developmentally, many classrooms across the country incorporate play. Here is what play-based learning looks like in preschool, kindergarten and the early grades.

Is the educational system worldwide concerned about what kind of life they will lead? Is the educational system worldwide preparing children to resolve conflicts? Are our children developing the ability to see things as they are? For example, anger as it is or violence as it is. How do we make children learners for life?
