Today our children’s development is closely connected to measurable means of progress. But what if we removed this educational element and just focused on having a good time while our children develop naturally without any effort? Unstructured free play is not a waste of time. Quite the contrary play is a rich experimental state for children to explore themselves and their surroundings in. This book addresses why play is a crucial element in children’s development. It gives parents insight to how important play is to raise resilient and healthy children, through play. It is a hands-on guide on how to integrate play as a part of everyday life. Play The Danish Way answers some of the many questions arising in the aftermath of publishing this books predecessor: The Danish Way of Parenting. To raise happy children, we need to consider the whole child; its physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. This book is an introduction on how to do that, through unstructured free play. Play helps develop a sense of self that shapes the foundation, for whole and happy children.
