Raised Resilient: Help Your Highly Sensitive Child

Why Play is Your Child’s Most Important Job (& How it Supports Healthy Child Development!)


Listen Later

Jean Piaget said that “play is the work of childhood,” and he was definitely right about that. Play is literally your child’s most important job. We often place more importance on academics, but the truth is that kids learn SO much more through play than through structured learning, especially when they’re really little.

 

In this week’s episode, I dive into why play is so important and give examples of how you can support your child’s need to explore the world through play. I talk about how to prioritize play, how to respect your child’s need to play, and how to use play to support your child during tough moments. 

 

Here’s the thing: Play truly is your child’s most important work. And in order to truly support that work, we need to understand, respect, and allow space for it to happen regularly – all of which you’ll be totally prepared to do after listening to this week’s episode!
