The ways in which a young child relates and plays with objects offers us a window into their understanding of the world around them. In this professional development session, we will focus on a young child’s thinking skills and the ways in which their playchanges as they grow and develop. There is no better developmental domain to demonstrate the interrelatedness of all the domains than cognition. A young child’s thinking skills are often reliant on the qualitative variables of movement. And the
symbolic representation that is language is often demonstrated through pretend play.
As the final session in this series, we’ll be sure to make time for us to play and discuss what we do in our work and why.
