The Power of Play

In this entire process, I've been extremely grateful to God for His attention to detail in all areas of my life but the area that has been most evident lately is that of Tamia. I don't think that coincidence caused me to pick this time in my life to persue a degree in early childhood education or to meet some of the people that I have been meeting lately.

The thing that has been most apparent to me in my degree program is the importance of play as it is the child's way of not only expressing themself or being creative, it is their way of learning the world around them and how it works. I find myself being stricter than I should be about a messy room but I find myself backing off when I realize that at this age, my neice and nephew and my little sister need the liberty to play for hours at a time if possible. I also find myself a tad too germaphobic these days so it's a little hard but I'm making time for outdoor play as well.
