Jeff Bezos laying off a third of The Washington Post's staff days after the release of the Epstein files, in which he was mentioned multiple times, is not a coincidence.

In evolutionary terms, we're born to learn thru play within a geographical environment.
Learning thru play in Scotland gave children an advantage which 'culture' blew out of the water.
Time to reclaim our connection with the natural world.

Fantastic report out today highlighting the desperate need to plan for more playtime at school and beyond - so children can have the freedom they need! #playtime #opalschools
There's a warning that playtime is being squeezed out of children's lives, according to a report by early years experts. They're urging the Government to protect playtime in schools after their research found that screen time instead of play, is leaving children unhealthy, unhappy, and not ‘school ready'.

Thank you @PlayWales …again. 🙏 👍
Rounding off Play in Healthcare Week, we are sharing our info sheet, written by Maggie Fearn. It discusses the therapeutic benefits of play in helping children to cope with stress and anxiety, and improve their emotional wellbeing.

A researcher who discovered that the benefits of academically oriented pre-K classrooms quickly fade and even turn negative explains in simple language how that happens. Why a "scripted, academically focused curriculum" for young children makes no sense: is.gd/Q0mhvj

Dear Dr. Werewolf Girl,
I heard the howl;
It made my skin crawl.
For I saw the werewolves glare
and you would take me to your lair.
You would eat me up,
You and the other werewolf pups.
But I was ok
cuz I knew you liked to play.
