Babies Learn Through Play
October 19, 2011
Risky play is really important for kids—all kids—because it teaches hazard assessment, it teaches delayed gratification, it teaches resilience, it teaches confidence.
-Caroline Paul, author and former firefighter
In describing the scenes in the video clips in the Learning Moments CD, "Learning Through Play: Ages 0 - 3 Years," George Forman explains how babies playfully engage in the world.  "As they pursue the things that capture their interest, they organize their actions and invent strategies for testing their hypotheses.  Self-defined goals arise fluidly from the rhythm of young children's play and they apply their increasing knowledge in pursuit of these goals."

You can observe this playful learning in a sample clip from this Learning Moments CD where a 10-month-old infant learns about the limits of support by placing a ball on a platform and then carefully moving it to the edge to watch it fall.

I currently work as an Early Childhood Program Specialist at a CCR&R. I am also an adjunct professor at a local community college. One of my colleagues passed on this website to be and I absolutely love the information I've already read.

There is a lot of valuable information that I can share with the EC program administrators I work with, as well as, my students. I also look forward to learning more information that will enhance my knoweledge and my skills!!

Thank you for this informative website and I look forward to receiving it every week!!
