Play

The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University offers lots of great information online, including these short videos about early child development.

This book offers information and inspiration, and also abundant warnings about the barriers to play in our society. Unfortunately, in our culture it is a challenge to offer children abundant opportunities for creative play. Parents must be vigilant and they must take actions that are counter to much of what has become the "norm." 

Play is essential for children! Kids play alone, with siblings, friends—and with their parents. This book is about parent-child play.
