Andre Frank Zimpel: Warum das Spielen nicht nur für Kinder wichtig ist

"There is no better preparation for life than free play in childhood. Playing makes you smart because it fosters the joy of repeating what has been learned," says Professor Zimpel. "Happy children play," Zimpel says, referring to studies he conducted with his team at his Center for Neurodiversity Research in Hamburg. "When children play for around seven to eight hours a day, they develop intellectual abilities that are neither innate nor inherited," Zimpel explains. The lecture was given as part of the continuing education program for kindergarten teachers (KIFO 2018) on February 21, 2018, at the Atrium in Bad Schallerbach.
