As parents, we want our children to be successful in school. But children are developing the skills to become good students long before they even get to kindergarten or elementary school. What if we told you that you can help your child’s academic future by playing with them? It’s true because play and learning go together!
The kind of play that helps children learn the best is play where they are entirely engaged – play that they are willing to stick with even when challenges present themselves. This kind of play helps children develop an approach to learning that will stay with them. Children develop all kinds of skills through activities involving curiosity, initiative, problem solving, and determination just to name a few.
