Gotta read this..."Old Fashioned Play Builds Serious Skills"

Sorry to double-post...I listened to this "article" on NPR last week on the connection between children's play and their ability to self-regulate, an essential element in success at older ages in both school and work. I'm sure we all know a lot of this but some of the underlying reasons are interesting as are the suggestions on how to encourage self-regulation in young children.

Here's the link to listen and/or read-- http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=19212514 and then tune back in on Thursday, 2/28 for more.
