Play, Play, Play!

Brave Writer

“[O]rganized games are not play… Boys and girls must have time to invent episodes, carry on adventures, live heroic lives, lay sieges, and carry forts, even if the fortress be an old armchair; and in these affairs, the elders must neither meddle nor make.” —Charlotte Mason

A gentle reminder that free play is essential for children. It’s not a “break” or “recess” or a reward for finishing schoolwork or chores.

Play is THE ESSENTIAL teaching tool the child has at their own disposal.

Let playing children play!

Loosen the schedule so enough time exists for play to begin, continue, and wane without interruption.
