Synopsis: 

Letting children play may be the key to ensuring their success in college and life, the authors of this opinion article write. Erika Christakis, an early-childhood teacher, and Nicholas Christakis, a medicine and sociology professor at Harvard University, argue in favor of a play-based education. They write that it helps students learn to solve problems, be empathetic, negotiate conflicts and control their impulses -- all skills that are crucial to later success.
