Play is special for children. Not only is it fun, but it's also important for healthy development. It's their "work" and their way of learning about the world. Playtime with parents is especially important for kids!
Children crave time with parents! It makes them feel special.
We encourage you to find time to spend playing with your kids on a regular basis.
Play outdoors. Throw balls. Push kids on swings. Just walk together!
When you are playing games help kids learn to take turns, how to win and how to loose. Praise them. Encourage them. Laugh with them. It lets the child know he or she is loved and appreciated. It opens the door for sharing problems and concerns when the need arises. It helps the parent get to know and understand the uniqueness of each child. It is also great stress reducer for overworked parents
