Collaborative play



At the beginning of your time at Apple Blossom you'll probably hear a few wise words from the teachers about play. One tidbit I really found interesting -- partially because it encouraged me to break a common habit -- had to do with friendship on the playground.

"Try not to ask your child 'Who did you play with today?' Because chances are they took a turn playing with everyone. They'll run in and out, in and out, of different groups. So they won't know quite what to answer and it's not quite the right question to ask."

The photograph above, a perfect portrait of collaborative play, really brings these words to life.
