A true leader always keeps an element of surprise up his sleeve, which others cannot grasp but which keeps his public excited and breathless.

This Wednesday, February 7th Exchange is sponsoring a webinar called "Big Body Play: Why Something So Scary is So Good For Children" by Frances Carlson.
Find details here: https://www.earlychildhoodwebinars.com/presentations/big-body-play-something-scary-good-children-frances-carlson/
"Big body play" - the sometimes rowdy, always very physical running, rolling, climbing, tagging, jumping, grabbing, and wrestling that most children love and many adults try to shut down - can and should be an integral part of every early childhood setting. Drawing from evidence-based practice and the latest research, this book explains the multitude of benefits of big body play for young children's social-emotional, cognitive, and physical development. You will also learn how to organize the physical environment, set rules and policies, and supervise the play.

THE BENEFITS OF PLAY. Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children at a very early age engage and interact in the world around them.
