Scientific American magazine has a good article on why it is so important for children to have free, imaginative play.
Bullet points from the top of article:
- Childhood play is crucial for social, emotional and cognitive development.
- Imaginative and rambunctious “free play,” as opposed to games or structured activities, is the most essential type.
- Kids and animals that do not play when they are young may grow into anxious, socially maladjusted adults.
