PEP Talk : The Importance of Play
2024-03-19 09:00 - 10:00 (Europe/Amsterdam)
Play is crucial for children to grow, learn and develop in a healthy manner. Play is so important to optimal child development that it has been recognised by the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights as a right of every child. Unfortunately, even children with ample resources and a peaceful environment may not fully experience the benefits of play.
Many of our children face hurried and pressured upbringing which can hinder the learning and development opportunities that come from child-driven play. This talk will focus on how important play is to our children’s development and growth.
