Play and the Tools for Lifelong Success: Emotional Regulation, Pro-Social Skills, and Executive Functions

This free workshop is intended for parents and childcare providers—particularly those with children ages birth to three years old. Play is a powerful tool for developing new skills and for supporting cooperation in children. When we deepen our understanding of the various types of play that children gravitate towards, we are better able to communicate with, understand, and support them. We’ll discuss how child-directed play develops essential skills, examining concrete examples of how we can use adult-guided play to support cooperation and skill development in our daily lives. In this workshop, we’ll specifically hone in on the intersection of play and emotional regulation, pro-social skills, and executive functions: all lifelong predictors of success and happiness.
