The Power of Play

"It is in playing, and only in playing, that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.”
~ D.W. Winnicott (British pediatrician)

It’s a happy talent to know how to play.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again."
~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762
"Let every mother realize that she has no greater blessing than the children who have come to her as a gift from the Almighty; that she has no greater mission than to rear them in light and truth, in understanding and love...I remind mothers everywhere of the sanctity of your calling. No other can adequately take your place."
--Gordon B. Hinckley
