Episode 70: Why We Need Play for All

We started this series with the overall argument for why play is essential for human development.  The next three episodes dug deep into three main themes: Why we need play for mental health and wellness, for brain development and real learning, and for soft skill development.  Then, we shifted to several shorter episodes, touching on specific types of play and how they contribute to development.  In this final episode, I'm talking about why ALL children need play, even when others may think it's time to help children "catch up" instead.
