Mentioned during the show | Home & Classroom Magazine | Vol. 2 Imagination
This issue features an article written by Barbara Mitchell, Social Emotional Development Educator at Brightside Up. "In play, children do not have to translate their thoughts into a pre-existing medium (language). Instead, in the freedom of imagination and fantasy, there is no limitation, therefore thoughts and feelings come out spontaneously in their purest form."
