The Power of Family Play

Family play helps create secure bonds, fosters autonomy, and contributes to children's emotional well-being. A lack of play can delay cognitive and emotional development, and today, technology has reduced children's playtime. Therefore, we must find daily moments to play as a family, respect children's ages and characteristics, and value play as a key tool for strengthening bonds, promoting values, and learning to manage emotions, such as frustration.
