How would you evaluate your Play Quotient? or your 'Woo-hoo' Factor? How much time do you and your team put aside to intentionally relax, move your body, laugh, allow yourself to be silly, have fun, and for bonding and team-building? In a world fraught with overwhelm, anxiety, loneliness, frustration and tension, it is imperative that we ALL take time for some mental health PLAY-TIME to re-charge and re-learn how to find joy and happiness!

The International Day of Play is particularly special for our Child and Infant lab as we start our ambitious project on "Grammar of Play" !! We are hoping to get some grants soon !! Unravelling the intricate dimensions of play has been our emphasis and we will continue our work :) Glad to see that the emphasis on PLAY for promoting early childhood development is gaining momentum !! Together, we can continue to highlight the importance of play :) TOYS are the "TIMELESS TREASURES" that shape the intricate foundations of neural architecture, serving as more than mere play objects. These objects are the architects of imagination, creativity, and cognitive growth, weaving the threads of development through every child's mind. Neural pathways are being forged and strengthened, laying down the groundwork for future learning :)
