Play is not a luxury-it’s the language of childhood and a tool for growth.
Creative play allows children to explore their feelings, develop problem-solving skills, and strengthen their imagination. Whether it’s building with blocks, dressing up, painting, or inventing silly stories, play fosters emotional resilience and cognitive development. It’s also a way for children to process the world around them. Rather than rushing to correct or structure every moment, try stepping back and watching where their imagination leads. Ask open-ended questions like, “What happens next in your story?” or “How does your dragon feel today?” Creative play is not just fun-it’s healing, empowering, and essential for healthy development.
