EP 69: Rethinking Weapon Play in Early Childhood with Samual Broaden and Kisa Marx
Samuel and Kisa are fierce childhood advocates and the authors of Rethinking Weapon Play in Early Childhood.
Key Takeaways:
Reflect on Decisions: Educators should regularly examine their reasons for saying "no" to certain play, ensuring they align with the children's best interests.
Value Unrestricted Play: Allow diverse forms of play, like weapon play, to support children's learning and development, while maintaining safety.
Recognize Adult Biases: Avoid letting personal traumas or biases limit children's play; seek support if needed to manage these feelings.
Evolve Practices: Be open to new research and ideas, moving beyond outdated educational practices to better support children's growth.
