Description
Let the Children Play: Unlocking the Power of Play for Every Child's Success. Play is an essential element of childhood, fostering creativity, innovation, teamwork, focus, resilience, and more. However, in many schools, play has been replaced by standardization, stress, and physical restraint, which can be detrimental to learning and society as a whole. In this book, Pasi Sahlberg and William Doyle argue that giving children more physical and intellectual play is crucial for their success. Drawing on over 700 research studies and interviews with leading authorities, they make the case for unleashing the power of play in schools worldwide. By exploring innovative approaches to education, including those from China, Finland, and other countries, Sahlberg and Doyle provide a compelling vision for how play can be harnessed to benefit every child.
