Immersed in the confluence of playing, outdoors, learning, and teaching of Environmental Education, #riskinplay is not #riskyplay

Jeff Bezos laying off a third of The Washington Post's staff days after the release of the Epstein files, in which he was mentioned multiple times, is not a coincidence.

In evolutionary terms, we're born to learn thru play within a geographical environment.
Learning thru play in Scotland gave children an advantage which 'culture' blew out of the water.
Time to reclaim our connection with the natural world.

“…shift away from seeing this as a problem for parents…”. Well said Tim Gill.

Watch Tim Gill, author and consultant on childhood, answer the question, “are parents concerns about children playing outside and away from home overblown?” 👇

All new! outdoor learning, imagination, cognitive tools, and collage as a process of data analysis. Fun fun!

I watched people reuniting, connecting, & playing together at the 'Field of Dreams' last night. I love that our 34 space nursery had over 350 people there including kids in high school. Play is the way, community is the way, caring about people is the way, outdoors is the way.

@paulinescott222 @CameronSprague2 @stramashoutdoor @UpstartScot @KateJohnston3 @Garvachy11 @suzannezeedyk @CreativeSTAR @cosydirect @ar_tir @MairiMo Good question.

Rounding off Play in Healthcare Week, we are sharing our info sheet, written by Maggie Fearn. It discusses the therapeutic benefits of play in helping children to cope with stress and anxiety, and improve their emotional wellbeing.

A researcher who discovered that the benefits of academically oriented pre-K classrooms quickly fade and even turn negative explains in simple language how that happens. Why a "scripted, academically focused curriculum" for young children makes no sense: https://t.co/m13RH3hmwH
