for a child, there's nothing more serious than play. any and every exploration of the world around (which i see as playgrounds, playmates, and playbooks) is thru play only. what we grown ups refer to as study is but the observational (passive?) aspect of play. what we understand as action (in isolation or interaction) is the dynamic aspect of play. so play is the default way to engage with self, each other, and external environment. it is playful yet serious. it is introspective yet interactive.
