A wonderful new resource from www.communityplaythings.com is available for free and you can request it from the web-site. It's called "The Wisdom of Play: Why children at play are their own best teachers". You need to get a copy and share it with everyone who cares for and about young children. The introduction and history are written by David Elkind,one of my all time favorite child development experts. Also check out www.justaskbaby.com , Dr. Elkind's weekly blog. Other articles in "The Wisdom of Play" include "Imagination" , "Nature" and "Opened and Creative Play". For those who attended the SWIAEYC Winter Blahs workshop on Saturday this will be a great way to extend and share your learning! Log on an request your copy right now!
Then go find a kid and go PLAY!
