'Play is the work of the child' - the powerful words of Dr Montessori; as relevant now as they were a century ago.
In this InstaLive we discussed the importance of play, the benefits, touched on the stages of play and answered a few questions about play. We had lots of lovely viewer engagement, thank you so much!
I mention Mildred Parten's Stages of Play during the discussion - this was research from 1929 on the stages of play in children and is still used as a framework today in early childhood development. Google it for further details if you are interested in going deeper into this fascinating topic.
👣 All play is valuable, vital in fact, children learn through play in the early years.
✨ Amongst many other benefits, children practise their social skills, process their emotions, problem solve, and have fun - all in the name of play.
Send me a DM for future topics for Top Tip Tuesday on Instagram Live, I love hearing your questions and suggestions.
