Unfortunately, society is robbing children of their childhood by eliminating play and treating them like mini adults. However, a play-based, child-directed approach fosters children’s natural desire to learn instead of forcing it. Play creates opportunities for children to explore, imagine, discover talents, spark creativity, gain confidence, build relationships, problem-solve, expand language, and grow intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally. Learn about the benefits of play, how to share this information with others, and explore fun activities that foster play. You’ll be encouraged to celebrate and defend children's need for play. Knowledge and Competency Framework Area(s): II.A: Creating Positive Learning Experiences (2 Hours) CDA Content Areas: Content Area II: Steps to advance children’s physical and intellectual development (2 Hours) |
