Learning Through Play

Learning Through Play : "Play is what children are born to do. Give them a rattle and they shake it, offer them a ball and they throw it, give them a large box and, well, who knows?
The possibilities are endless. Play is, quite simply, nature's way of teaching children, and helping them grow and develop. So why is it such a mystery to so many adults?
A survey of 500 parents of under-fives, by Fisher-Price, has revealed more than a third have no idea how to entertain their babies, and, according to psychologist Dr Dorothy Einon, a change in family life is largely responsible.
'In the past, most people lived in big extended families and many girls spent a lot of their childhood looking after siblings."
