The average child under six plays for 10 hours a day, according to a survey of 2,000 parents of young children. This adds up to about 3,650 hours per year. 92% of parents believe play is important for their child’s growth. 74% help foster their child’s inquisitive nature by educating themselves on topics their kid is interested in. “Parents, caregivers and educators can ensure the children in their care are consistently engaging in creative play and exploring their interests,” Dr. Lauren Loquasto of The Goddard School said.
