[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Knowing that stuff at this age is like a party trick. It's cute and it makes the parents feel good but there's really no evidence that it has any correlation to long-term academic success. What does have a long-term correlation to academic success is plenty of creative play and social play ( especially outdoors or sensory-based), since those build strong neural pathways, help with body integration and sensory organization and teach executive function.[/quote] They do a lot of play with their friends and outside. Is there anything in particular that we should be encouraging? What is creative play?[/quote] Creative play is whatever the kid chooses to play and uses their imagination without being told what to do or think or say by an adult. Playing house, playing store, playing with babydolls, setting up trains or cars and playing with them, that's all creative play.[/quote]
