The Power of Play


Great new book by author David Elkind. You may know him from one of his previous books, such as The Hurried Child. I just read The Power of Play over the holidays, and I definitely recommend it. Well-written treatise on why to protect children's free time for spontaneous creativity, and how, both at home and in school. The last chapter delves into comparing some early childhood education methodologies, an area close to my heart.
