This world of play offers children v
ast

lves,
others, and the environment in whi
ch they live.

The most important things that adults can pr
ovide for children are:
When adults argue that “we didn’t play when we were in
school and it didn’t do us any harm” they are forgetting that
they had rich opportunities to learn through play at home and
in their community which built their characters and life
enhancing experiences that they took for granted.
