Our quote of the episode<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

“…Within play, children will do a lot of really hard things. They will go up against adversity. They will go up against challenge, and really take on some hard stuff. And that’s where resilience is born. That’s where commitment is born. That’s where negotiation and compromise and all these things are that require a bit of practice, but they do require motivation as well.”<\/p>\n
