“Play, Incorporating Animistic and Magical Thinking Is
Important
Because it:
Fosters
the healthy, creative and emotional growth of a child;
Forms the best foundation for later intellectual growth.
Provides a way in which children get to know the world and creates
possibilities for different ways of responding to it.
Fosters empathy and wonder.”
“By suggestion and example, I believe children can be helped
to hear the many voices
about them. Take Time to listen and talk about the voices
of the earth and what they mean-the majestic voice of thunder, the
winds, the sound of surf or flowing streams.”
Rachel
