Practical Homeschooling said it best...
"Learning
versus playing....Learning, according to that almost automatic view, is
what children do in school and, maybe, in other adult-directed
activities. Playing is, at best, a refreshing break from learning.,,But
here’s an alternative view: playing is learning. At play, children learn
the most important of life’s lessons, the ones that cannot be taught in
school. To learn these lessons well, children need lots of play — lots
and lots of it, without interference from adults."Here at Sisney H.O.U.S.E., we firmly believe that "kids ought to be kids" and given time to "be a kid", including lots of free play time. Children "turned loose" to play on their own, also will "turn loose" their creativity, their imagination, and be whisked off to some far-away land right in your own back yard.
