Imaginative Play is essential for young children as it helps them to develop critical thinking skills, follow basic instruction, and enhance their social skills.

When your child comes to you upset or with a problem, they don't actually want you to fix it! 🔧 🧡 Let us explain: When our kids come to us with a problem and we use our adult logic to try to explain or find a solution, our kids often react with frustration and anger. Why? Because they're not coming to you for a solution; they're coming to you for connection. They want to be seen and heard and understood. Once you allow them the time and space to feel those things, then you can work with them to resolve the issue. The next time your kid has an issue, let this reminder pop-up in your head. And remember, we have tons of resources, free lessons and activities for families over on our website: SFK.org
