Play and rule-making

Play is where children negotiate reality—deciding together what's allowed, what the rules are, what happens when someone breaks them—which is actually practicing governance and social negotiation. Rule-making during play teaches that structures aren't handed down from authority; they're agreements you make with collaborators.
