For Families & Educators

Supporting Play and Interests 

Letting children lead in play encourages confidence and skill-building. Follow your child’s interests and watch how it supports their development. If your child loves trains, create a train from chairs, read train books, or visit a station to spark curiosity. 

Try This: 

• Describe Their Play: “You’re building a tall tower with blocks! That looks fun.” 

• Engage in Play Together: When your child organizes a pretend picnic, join in and help with preparations. This not only builds social skills but helps your child feel valued.
