Format: Audio and Video

Description

Margaret Blaustein, Lou Bergholz and Dafna Lender present a magical morning of learning, collaboration, and play! Children all need to feel safe in order to develop and connect to others. The quickest and most powerful way to get to transformative moments with children is through play— meaning interactive, face-to-face, reciprocal, cooperative interactions that rely on movement, rhythm, touch, a prosodic voice, and eye contact. The more a child learns that it’s pleasurable and safe to be completely caught up in a moment of shared joy or attention with another person, the deeper sense of connection. In this recording, we’ll discuss principles and techniques that underpin playful design to help facilitate connection, nurture meaningful choices.
