Play is diagnostic (even when it looks messy)
If you slow down during play, you’ll see patterns.
Not in what toys they pick
In how their body uses space.
Do they:
  • collapse into the floor quickly?
  • avoid rotation?
  • move fast but without control?
  • repeat the same pattern over and over?
  • shift positions easily?
Play shows us:
  • endurance
  • balance
  • organization
  • problem solving
  • regulation
Without a single worksheet.
This is why structured “do this activity 10 times” advice misses the point.
*Play isn’t homework.*
It’s information.
And most of it is visible long before milestones change.
