Imagination and Independent Play

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

Independent play and having a vivid imagination opens up so many doors for our children.  We want to see their ability to play by themselves and create a whole world for themselves while we get our adult stuff done or even sit down and feel some independence ourselves. We go in depth into how to facilitate the development of both and what works and doesn't work for us. Check our Instagram page for a journaling guide around play and join our Facebook Community Group for more discussion.
