In this workshop we'll explore the power of play and why play is the most natural way for children to express themselves. We'll look into some of the brain processes that happen when children play and discuss how play fosters the development of social and emotional regulation skills. The workshop will also provide practical tips and ideas on how to easily implement play activities at home to encourage and nurture your child's wellbeing through non directive play. Morning tea will be provided and there will be a Q&A session plus a quiz at the end with prizes to be won. Bio about presenter:
