In modern childhood, free, unstructured play time is being replaced more and more by academics, lessons, competitive sports, and passive, electronic entertainment. While parents may worry that their children will be at a disadvantage if they are not engaged in constant, explicit learning or using the latest "educational" games, David Elkind's The Power of Play reassures us that unscheduled imaginative play goes far in preparing children for academic and social success. Through expert analysis of the research and powerful situational examples, Elkind shows that, indeed, creative spontaneous activity best sets the stage for academic learning in the first place: Children learn mutual respect and cooperation through role-playing and the negotiation of rules, which in turn prepare them for successful classroom learning; in simply playing with rocks, for example, a child could discover properties of counting and shapes that are the underpinnings of math; even a toddler's babbling is a necessary precursor to the acquisition of language. An important contribution to the literature about how children learn, The Power of Play suggests ways to restore play's respected place in children's lives, at home, at school, and in the larger community. In defense of unstructured "down time," it encourages parents to trust their instincts and resist the promise of the wide and dubious array of educational products on the market geared to youngsters.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice little jewelry box
Color: Cloud White, Material Type: Paper, PU
Just what I wanted in size and available compartments. The only thing I am hesitant about is the paper outside. Mine is white and may get dirty quickly.

Great jewelry box for travel
Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W
Great jewelry box for travel. Especially if you like to take a lot of jewelry to use with your outfits. It's small enough to not take up a lot of room buttholes a good amount of jewelry.

Great product, roomy, well made
Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W
Love this! Bought a second one. It is sturdy with a lot of protection in the hard case. I expected the case to be soft, but as I think of it, I am happy that it is hard shelled on the outside in order to protect the items inside. The case also has tons of room. I will keep my most-used jewelry packed in it and just grab this case when I travel. Prior to ordering this, I ordered another brand and I am SO happy that I returned that one. It was flimsy, cheaply made and not functional. This is great - looks expensive, well made, velvet lined, plenty of room. This is a bit on the larger side, but completely functional to put into a suitcase. It is organized well, too. My only suggestion for the makers is that the inside dividers could be secured better (they move around a bit) and if they wanted to hit it out of the park, they could actually offer additional dividers for that section (since the sections are fairly large, they could be divided further). However, all in all, this is a great travel organizer and a good value!
