Why kids need more playtime not more schoolwork

In this month’s Maggie Moment, parenting author, educator, and host of The Good Enough Dad podcast, Maggie Dent asks that we stop stealing childhood from our kids. By pushing formalised learning into the early years we are diminishing the powerful importance of play.

Maggie provides some tips for parents and educators to get your children moving and how to create more opportunities for play. Unstructured play is how children grow – mind, body, heart and soul.
