Many of us get confused about how young children develop the skills that they need to become self-directed, problem solvers, focused and able to follow through, confident, and creative. We look at what they become really engaged in and wonder, “why?” or we get so wrapped up in our important adult “busyness” that we don’t even notice when they are concentrating on an activity or task. We often wonder, “Are they working or are they playing?” Lorna explores whether there is a difference between work and play when a child is young and what adults can do to best support their child’s natural path to acquiring the skills that they need.
