Play is very important in a child's life. I personally believe that "children learn through play." I believe that through play, children learn who they are and what they would like to become as they get older. I believe through play children learn a sense of self. I believe through play children learn how to share. I believe through play children learn how to dream, pretend, show feelings. I also personally believe that through play, children learn how to have emotions.
