In this episode, we return to Aletha Solter's Aware Parenting Principles of Learning article, particularly focussing on play, and how children learn through play. We discuss how play is devalued in this culture and how much we value it in Aware Parenting and Natural Learning, seeing it as the primary mode of learning for a child's first decade. We share our own experiences of supporting our children with an environment rich with play, and explore the pain many children experience when faced with long hours sitting at desks being given verbal instruction. We also have a wonderful conversation about the learning power of conversation!
