What Makes a Good Play?
What makes a good play? This was one of the hardest questions that we had in trying to, you know, petically answer. We were identifying some elements that parents or teachers can consider when they are thinking about how they want their children to play whether it's indoors or outdoors. One f those important aspects is what we call self directedness - kids should be allowed to take a lead and lead the way while playing. The play also has to have a positive kind of emotion: more joy and happiness than negative excitement or fear.
