Understanding Play Schemas: Demystifying Child's Play | Episode 1 🎙️
Welcome to the first episode of "Demystifying Child’s Play"! I’m Ruth Vercoe, and today we’re diving into the fascinating world of play schemas—the patterns that shape how children learn and grow through play. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or caregiver of children aged 0-7, this episode is packed with insights on how understanding these schemas can transform your parenting approach. 🧸
In this episode, I share my own journey from being a teacher to a Mum and how recognising these play schemas has helped me connect with my children on a deeper level. Learn how play isn’t just random fun, but a vital part of your child’s development, with schemas like the trajectory schema, rotation schema, and enveloping schema guiding their exploration of the world. 🌍
If you've ever wondered why your little one throws things, spins around, or hides objects, this episode will shed light on those behaviours and how they contribute to cognitive growth. By embracing play schemas, you’ll discover how to turn frustrating moments into meaningful play experiences. Plus, I’ll share practical tips for engaging with your child’s play in ways that support their learning and reduce tantrums. 🙌
