My Connections to Play

Special quotes:

Play is our brain's favorite way of learning.
Diane Ackerman
Contemporary American author

Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.
Fred Rogers
American television personality  1928-2003

Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.
O. Fred Donaldson
Contemporary American martial arts master

People supported play when I was younger by letting me enjoy the outside by getting dirty, getting that daily exercise and being able to be in my fantasy world without thinking that I need therapy. Play is definite different from how it use to be today because more children rely on electronics which does not allow them to engage in play. I prefer children to go outside and get bumps and hurt they knee and  get back up and play some more vs. how they engage in play now. I wish child would just stop complaining about they don't have anything to do and go outside and make up games and be in the house before the street lights come on. I had an enjoyable childhood but as an adult I wish more children would just be kids and enjoy life to the fullest because playing and smiling makes you happy.
