As stated in the book, Learning to Play, Playing to Learn (Steffens and Gorin), Healthy Play is based on the knowledge that:
- Children like and want to play.
- Play is the most natural form of learning.
- Play incorporates all eight of the multiple intelligence styles of learning.
- When play is practiced correctly, it is a positive emotional experience for all the participants.
- Of all the learning concepts involved in Healthy Play, the most important one is the emphasis placed on the actual DOING of social skills/behaviors desired repetitively.
