About play and child's development πŸ€ΉπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Kids learn the best, via play. It is their primary role and a basic right. Play serves as a key for communication and for development. And for us adults, who are willing to reach out to the children, a beautiful way to do so is by adjusting ourselves to their level, following their lead, and being present in play-together moments. When we allow ourselves to be led by the child, we as well might benefit a lot!
Occupational therapists describe playing, both as a goal and a tool to improve daily functioning and to integrate into society. I believe that joining the child's play time according to their own interest and motivation (even when it looks narrow) allows us to expand the child's communication skills and creativity. Playing with a partner can give the child a safe space to practice many social skills, and the adult can learn how to support it during shared play.
