The Untidy Business of Play
Photo by Ruth Fremson/The New York TimesIt's the second weekend of 2011. There is still time for New Year's Resolutions. If we have young children at home, setting a goal to spend true quality time with them is a great idea. In my role as a school counselor, I see too many children who have difficulties tapping into their imagination, negotiating a game successfully, or sustaining attention through a more complex game.

The article below has some really good research which may help convince you to make playing one of your priorities this year!
