Play, Team, Offense

Play builds the kind of free-and-easy, try-it-out, do-it-yourself
character that our future needs. We must become more self-conscious
and more explicit in our praise and reinforcement as children use
unstructured play materials: ''That's good. You use your own ideas
.... " ''That's good. You did it your way .... " ''That's good. You
thought it all out yourself. "
~ James L. Hymes, Jr., child development specialist, author
