Did you know that adult-child play creates a life-long template for emotional resilience?

It’s how we play with children – not how much – that gives them a natural advantage in coping with childhood stressors and builds confident, competent, creative thinkers who are better prepared to step up to life’s curveballs. Through play, children learn how to stay calm in the face of difficulties, observe and describe their emotions, try on flexible perspectives, act on their own initiative, and experiment with new solutions until the problem is solved.
