Dreaming of the outdoors
It has been months since cities were locked down, and children have not been able to roam outside freely.
Research has also shown that child-led, unstructured play is crucial to a child’s development. A school district in the US heeded this advice and incorporated unstructured play into its timetable, resulting in students becoming happier, better adjusted and readier to learn in class.
As schools formulate their reopening plans, it is important to keep in mind the importance of unstructured play, and make time for outdoor play in the new semester. |
