Early childhood 3-6 — play language boundaries

These years run on play the way everything else runs on food — it is not optional, it is the medium through which children become themselves. Language opens like a door in this period, and what children hear, they absorb before they can evaluate it. Boundaries given with warmth and consistency are not restrictions; they are the edges that make freedom feel safe.
