Play imprints deeply on a child’s soul: encouragement for caregivers who are carefully curating play 

This is such an interesting anecdote! Thank you for sharing!!! I've never thought about play shaping a child's soul...but come to think of it and reflecting on my own upbringing, I think it is actually true. My parents really appreciated the arts and I remember going to an artist's house when I was a child, and my parents brought his paintings to support his work before he had became a more well-known artist...and we had lots of nice paintings displayed around my house...and my mum would share with me lots of books on famous artists and their artworks.....I grew up to be someone who really appreciated all sorts of art/sculptures/wooden figurines (like ostheimer) even till this day and painted for leisure for many years and would visit art galleries around the world whenever I got the chance to travel......I think what you "expose your children to" can really have a long term subtle impact...thank you for sharing because I never really thought about this.
