Play is an overused word that means much to early childhood educators and very little to many other adults. They often think of children “wasting” time with play. It is during independent exploration that children discover and learn so very much. I challenge all who care about children to stop using the word play and replace it with exploration and discovery to begin to educate adults to the importance of what we used to call play.
