From the Desk of Joshua Sherman , M . D .
Three independent toy stores are featured in the article “ The Power of Play !” in this holiday issue of VERMONT Magazine .
In the article , one of the featured business owners comments , “ As adults , many of us have grown to see play as an optional thing … The truth is , kids learn many of the most important lessons through their play .”
I would say the same is true for “ children of all ages .”
Whether it be enjoying the outdoors , making music , going shopping , dining out , or enjoying travel , there are always new lessons to be learned and opportunities for growth while having fun .
And that is my wish for you .
As we enter the holiday season and a new year , I hope that you will all find time to play — and learn .
Have a healthy and happy holiday season and a 2024 filled with play !
-Joshua
