Samuel and Kisa are fierce childhood advocates and the authors of Rethinking Weapon Play in Early Childhood.
Key Takeaways: 
Reflect on Decisions: Educators should regularly examine their reasons for saying "no" to certain play, ensuring they align with the children's best interests.
Value Unrestricted Play: Allow diverse forms of play, like weapon play, to support children's learning and development, while maintaining safety.
Recognize Adult Biases: Avoid letting personal traumas or biases limit children's play; seek support if needed to manage these feelings.
Evolve Practices: Be open to new research and ideas, moving beyond outdated educational practices to better support children's growth.
