Children Need to Play

Back in November, I wrote a post about the excitement I have about giving our daughter works of rich imagination to read. Well, yesterday, I heard this piece on NPR, which reinforces some of the Anthony Esolen's thoughts I was commenting on in the said piece. This report, however, deals with the need for play in a child's life. The researchers find that there's actually a link between "self-regulated" imaginative play and self-discipline. Imagine that!
