DESCRIPTION:
This presentation will provide a brief overview of how play is essential to emotional expression and development, especially in young children. Research is showing that when children are deprived of play, the long-term effects result in multiple mental health challenges, including anxiety, ADHD and depression. The material that will be presented is at the cutting edge of developmental science as well as the brand-new science of play. When children are given ample time to play, emotions can surface and be dealt with in this most natural context. As adults, our role is to provide a safe and bounded space so that nature can do its job through the medium of play.
