So free play is fundamental to anyone\u2019s life, right? We know that it can help social emotional development, physical development, and executive function development. It\u2019s really important. But research is finding when there\u2019s a learning goal, that guided play yields the best results for that. The reason why guided play is so effective is because it reflects these key characteristics of decades and decades of research of how we know how human brains learn best. We know that we learn best when we\u2019re active, not passive, engaged, not distracted, when it\u2019s meaningful, when it\u2019s connected to what matters what we already know. When it\u2019s iterative, so children can test and try out different ideas, and when they\u2019re interacting socially with others, and when they\u2019re joyful. And so that\u2019s part of why guided play is so powerful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Guided play\u2019 benefits kids\u2014but what does that look like for parents? &#8212; from hechingerreport.org by Jackie Mader Everyday interactions offer plenty of chances for playful learning Excerpt: So, it sounds like if there\u2019s a learning goal that a parent has in mind, the way to do that is to engage in guided play versus setting [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[472,141,46,102,560,405,445],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-active-learning","category-engagement-engaging-students","category-k-12-related","category-learning","category-parents-guardians","category-play","category-youth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87684"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87685,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87684\/revisions\/87685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
