- Help parents improve their parenting skills and to increase their self-understanding
Play: A Child's Work
Young children learn from play. They learn everything they need to know to function in the world. Their play is quite purposeful; it is not as random as it may seem.
Play is:
- Critical to all aspects of a child's development
- Often overlooked by parents as a valuable tool
- A proactive and positive way to prevent discipline problems
- A natural way for a child to learn
- Essential in forming a positive relationship between parents and their child
