Why Play Matters

Rohini Nilekani explains why play is essential. "Every child is born wired for curiosity, wonder and play. That's not sentiment - it's biology. The crisis isn't that children don't know how to play; it's that adults have forgotten how to let them. This is science, and science is not optional. Eighty-five percent of brain development happens by age six. What looks like random, unstructured play to an adult is actually the brain doing its work."
