Quote
Creative play fosters divergent thinking, the capacity to think “outside the box,” imagining ideas and solutions to problems that go beyond convention. Divergent thinking is a threat to totalitarianism. It is essential to democracy. If we constrict children’s opportunities for creative play from birth, they won’t even begin to know how to generate new ideas, challenge existing norms, or revel in their own creativity.
