Quote

A great deal of play has been taken out of childhood. Over forty thousand U.S. schools no longer even have recess. But play is actually critical to healthy development, a biological imperative for higher animals. It sharpens and limbers intelligence. It is the only activity that directly prepares people for dealing with life’s unpredictability. Delay play and you delay adulthood.
