Your Role in Play

Newsletter 4: Simplifying Play Month + bonus video from the Playful Days at Home Starter Kit

In this lesson, we'll take a look at how you can involve yourself in play. It's important to strike the balance right between involving yourself in activities that really matter to your child and not sacrificing the time you really need for work or self-care.

With this lesson being released in the ‘in-between’ period after Christmas and before New Years, now is the ideal time to take a closer look at your role in play. Take the opportunity to sit down with your child whilst they play with their new toys.
