Reading PLAY by Dr. Stuart Brown

I find myself "kvelling" with pleasure and agreement while I read this book. Dr. Brown describes the multiple benefits that children derive from play-from a deep sense of connectedness to their parents( if their parents are playing/engaging with them), to improved brain develpment and the ability to creatively problem-solve as adults.
He say that play needs to be pleasurable for the player, not driven by others' ideas of fun or learning.
We adults also benefit greatly from play. It helps us to de-stress and enjoy our lives, helps keep our brains alive and learning, and envigorates our souls.
I encourage you to read this book and to play!!!!
