The Power of Play
If you've ever wondered:
● Why does my child play the same games over and over?
● How can play help with anxiety, frustration, or big emotions?
● What does child-led play actually look like?
● How can I use play to strengthen my relationship with my child?
We invite you to join us for The Power of Play, a one-hour parent workshop exploring why play
is one of the most important tools for supporting children's emotional, social, and cognitive
development, presented by Dr. Alex Schira. Dr. Schira is a licensed clinical psychologist and
director of the Child & Family Program at Williamsburg Therapy Group.
Together we'll discuss:
● Why play is essential for healthy development.
● How play helps children process emotions and build resilience.
● What children's play can tell us about their inner world.
● Practical strategies for incorporating meaningful play into everyday family life.
