“At the heart of every child is the need for play. Play is important for creativity, learning, and interacting with peers. But it’s also the way children communicate. If we want to show our children we love them, we need to play with them. Play is the magical portal to connection.”

“Children, as it turns out, need a childhood.”
― Ainsley Arment, The Call of the Wild and Free: Reclaiming Wonder in Your Child's Education

“Know this: children will find adventure whether we’re the ones who give it to them or not. If they can’t find it in their families, they’ll look for it elsewhere. They’ll find it with friends, their girlfriends, their boyfriends, and even other families.”
