Preparing your child for preschool using play

Send us a text

In this conversation, I chat with Connie about the critical aspects of preschool education, emphasizing the importance of play in child development. We explore the challenges children face in adapting to open-ended play, the significance of emotional regulation, and the need for realistic expectations from parents. The discussion highlights the role of curiosity in learning, the nurturing of compassion and empathy, and practical tips for parents to support their children's development at home. Ultimately, they advocate for preserving the spirit of childhood and allowing children the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace.
