Play is an important part of a child’s life and essential to learning and development. Play allows persons to interact with others, learn new skills, and develop trust. It facilitates practice in decision making and conflict resolution, hones critical thinking skills, and above all else, provides opportunities to have fun in the company of others. Join Family Resource Network for this interactive workshop on play and socialization.

This workshop will discuss:

• The types and stages of play
• A parent’s role in children’s play
• How to support play
• Socialization and inclusion

This is an interactive workshop and participants are encouraged to keep their cameras and microphones on during the session with the presenters. We do understand that everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to the use of video conferencing.
