Too many children are forced into non-play because their way of playing is not seen as play. The flow, the joy of play, is personal to each child. My neuroscientist husband tells me that play is the brain learning to adapt to a complex world. We never stop playing. How we play will change over time.
I loved reading this.
I really liked this part.

thank you - I am so glad it resonated with you
I appreciate both how you explore the many facets of risky play and how you reconsider your own previous positions/postings.
I think it is so important that we are continuously rethinking how we think about things when we learn and experience new facts and experiences.
I actually think this is the most exciting part of learning
Once again, I love your recognition of nuance!
