The Decline of Play in Preschoolers

imageByNLSSeptember 6, 2015
The Decline of Play in Preschoolers

“If children were given ample opportunities to play outdoors every day with peers, there would be no need for specialized exercises or meditation techniques for the youngest of our society. They would simply develop these skills through play. That’s it. Something that doesn’t need to cost a lot of money or require much thought. Children just need the time, the space, and the permission to be kids.” 

We agree!  Read this excellent article in the Washington Post about the decline of play in preschool and the corresponding rise in sensory issues.
