Parents as Teachers reminds you that you are you child’s first and best teacher…so play with your child every day.
Play helps kids develop social skills such as cooperation, sharing and negotiating.
Play allows kids to feel emotions such as pleasure and success, while developing self-worth, overcoming fears and releasing stress.
Play builds healthy bodies and motor skills.
Play develops persistence and concentration, vocabulary and creative thinking…all important for school success.
You also can use play to teach your child about family customs and to celebrate cultural traditions.
