"For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions"

In this quote, Michel de Montaigne recommends that children's play must not be thought about as simple entertainment or a pointless activity. He thinks that a child's play is a major action and should be given the very same importance and attention as any other severe activity. Montaigne thinks that a child's play can have a significant effect on their advancement and ought to be valued accordingly.
