“I want my children to be able to meet and play and communicate with many other children on their own, not only when they are driven somewhere. I want them to grow up in an environment that is not just a place where people sleep but where people work... and where people enjoy themselves.”
Moshe Safdie
“Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“Mistakes are a natural part of growing up. They're to be expected and made light of. But children bloom like spring flowers under praise. They want so much to be noticed and appreciated, to excel and have that excellence noticed.”
Earl Nightingale
“You can do anything with children if only you play with them”
German Proverb
“Never underestimate a child's ability to get into more trouble.”
Martin Mull
“Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.”
Dr. James C. Dobson
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
Fred Rogers
