Stepping back not only supports the child’s right to play it creates space and opportunity for their social-emotional development. This session explores the role of the adult in children’s nature play: by adopting a posture of deep observation and offering opportunities to practice, we adults can create an opening for children to use their play in remarkable, developmentally appropriate ways to connect with their peers and the earth. Brought to life by real stories, concrete strategies will be shared to apply in your unique context.
