Childrenology

I am  making a list of things that all children MUST have the opportunity to do. They don’t have to do it. They don’t    have to like it.   They don’t have to do it well. But they have to have the chance. It is our sacred duty.

Number One. Climb a small – or big – tree.

Number Two. Dig a hole. A big one is best.

Number Three. Walk a dog

Number Four. Sit it in a lap.

Number Five.  Cook.

More…?

 

Here is a TED talk that illustrates what we know about brain development, emotional intelligence and play.  fantastic!
