Play helps children and parents talk about big issues Through play, children learn to be creative and develop social skills that will help them interact with others in a positive way. We love how children laugh while they play, and we marvel at their imagination and creativity as they have fun and make games out of whatever items they have in hand – but it’s worth remembering that play is a way to prepare children for the future, in so many ways. According to the LEGO 2022 Play Well Study*, 90% of South African parents agree that play has an important role in children’s development. Furthermore, 95% of parents believe play helps children learn judgement and decision-making, and 96% think it assists them to question issues and make up their own minds. When it comes to skills needed for the future world of work, 88% of parents agree that play helps build resilience and emotional intelligence, while 95% agree it helps build leadership skills and critical thinking. Importantly, 93% of parents believe toys can help children learn about diversity, and 89% of them think toy companies have a role in creating a tolerant society though inclusive toys. Toys can help facilitate conversations about gender and sexuality that parents might otherwise not know how to initiate or facilitate, supporting the 9 in 10 parents who believe it’s important to discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion topics. There are so many benefits of play, which help children with the following: Improves creativity; develops vocabulary and language; leads to happier children; helps kids deal with stress; and builds self-confidence.

The benefits of a strong parent-school relationship FOCUS ON KIDS As a parent, you know your child better than anyone else. Your child also spends a considerable amount of time at school and in the care of educators and therapists, so it makes sense to invest time and energy in this relationship, right? Easier said than done for many, perhaps due to time, physical distance, accessibility, and resources. But for others it may be that they have not necessarily chosen this partner to enter into a relationship with – namely the school, the therapy team and/or the child’s teacher. “Positive connections between parents and teachers have been shown to improve children’s academic achievement, social competencies, and emotional well-being. When parents and teachers work as partners, children do better in school and at The deputy principal and director of Bellavista S.H.A.R.E., Karen Archer, explains why a healthy relationship between parents and the school is so important. home.” – Sheridan, S. While the relationships your child forms with peers are important, the most significant relationship in a child’s school success and development is the one you form with his or her teacher, and the school itself. Archer has been fortunate enough to play the role of both partners in this parent-school relationship – as a mother and a professional in the school environment. She loves the analogy of dancers that Janice Fialka (2001) uses when referring to this partnership: “Each dancer, professional and parent, contributes to the understanding of the child. Our unique contributions evolve and build on each other as we offer differing sides and perspectives about the child.” When everybody is working together in the best interests of your child, your child will feel contained and empowered, knowing that the most significant roleplayers in their life have come together for them, keeping their interests at the forefront of their journey.
