Description

Why do many bright children arrive at college feeling burned out? Why do some preschoolers struggle with cognitive tasks that do not match their age? In Play = Learning, experts in child development address these pressing questions. This book explores why playtime is often incorrectly viewed as unproductive time. By examining how play motivates and enhances both cognitive and social-emotional growth, top experts reveal how our current culture might be hindering young learners. Instead of rushing to create a generation of Einsteins, this work suggests a need to rethink how we approach early childhood education and development. This book is an essential resource for understanding the connection between active play and the mental and emotional success of children.
