Why is play so vital in your child’s development?
Play is a vital ingredient to help your child learn about themselves and the world. Children are full of energy but as parents it can be hard to think of different activities for little ones to keep them entertained.
This week on the Podcast we welcome back our Emotion Coach Expert Dr Christiane Kehoe to help us understand the importance of play time for children.
Episode 106: Parents You've Got This -The Role of Play in our Children's Development
We ask:
Why play is important for our children
The age when children understand that something is imaginary
How many hours a parent should be playing with their child
Self-play and why it is so important
How we can encourage our children to play
As a parent we often hear our children say, ‘I’m bored’. Is a little boredom good for our children?
We ask Dr Christiane if we should be providing activities for our children
In today’s modern life children are very scheduled and have lots of after school activities. How much is too much?
Dr Christiane’s top play ideas or ways children like to play at the following key ages: babies, toddler, preschooler, school age child and teenagers
How important the ‘play environment’ is for our children i.e.. inside or out, structured and non structured and how to ensure we are providing this for our children.
