Learning is fun. Learning by doing is even better.
The Brain is Designed for Learning
The brain is designed to learn. It’s built for learning and has a drive to learn. The brain is a learning machine. The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons, each of which can make thousands of connections with other neurons through synapses (the spaces between cells). This gives our brains incredible flexibility and capacity for change over time–but it also means that our mental life is complex and difficult to understand fully at any given moment.
The human mind isn’t just made up of one part: it’s made up of many different systems that work together in ways we’re just beginning to understand. That means when you’re trying something new or trying out something new on your mind–whether it’s meditation or mindfulness practice–you might need some extra support from other parts of yourself before those changes become automatic habits in the future!
Play is a Powerful Tool
Play is a powerful tool for learning. It’s the way we learn to be human, and our ability to play throughout our lives makes us better at problem solving and creating new ideas. Play can help us understand the world around us, allowing us to develop skills like empathy and creativity that will help us succeed in life.
Play also helps children develop their bodies through exercise or physical movement (like running around), which can improve their mental health by reducing stress levels while increasing self-esteem [1]. The more physically active children are as they grow up, the better they’ll feel as adults–and this can lead them down productive paths later on in life!
Learning Through Play
Play is a powerful tool for learning. Play is a natural way for children to learn, and it’s more effective than formal instruction. Children learn best through play when they are allowed to explore and experiment with their surroundings in ways that are fun, challenging and meaningful for them.
To encourage your child’s natural inclination toward learning through play:
- Provide opportunities for independent exploration and discovery (e.g., let him explore on his own)
- Provide materials that allow him/her to engage in active problem solving (e.g., blocks or legos)
The Power of Unstructured Learning
Unstructured learning is the best way to learn new things.
Children learn best through play, and playing with others is a great way to learn new things.
Play is a powerful tool, which we can use to our advantage in order to learn more efficiently and effectively.
Children learn best through play.
As a parent, one of the most important things you can do is allow your children to explore and discover. They need time and space to make mistakes, fail and be creative.
We can all learn from this approach: learning through play means allowing yourself some time off from the pressure of trying to figure everything out, so that you can just have fun!
This is not to say that we should stop teaching our children to read and write. But we need to recognize that learning through play is just as important, if not more so. Children learn best when they are engaged in activities they find fun and interesting; this means that we need to encourage them to explore their world through play rather than sitting at a desk all day long.
