NPR has been doing some interesting stories about preschoolers and imaginative play---the researchers have found a strong link between this kind of play and self regulation. Here's the story link: [url=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=73598288]NPR: Q&A: The Best Kind of Play for Kids[/url] I thought it was good stuff to consider for those of us w/ toddlers. You can click into a couple of other related stories from there.

Thank you, HBV. I love it!!! For a long time, I have been "crowing" about how imaginative DD is and how her "play" is so funny. Like every night we get on a rocket ship (under our covers) and go to different places with different people. But I was starting to "worry" that she wasn't learning letters and stuff. But I firmly believe (my opinion only!) that intelligence comes from figuring out cause and effect, imagination, etc. and not memorization.
