Learning through Play with Dad

“Fathers spend a larger proportion of their time playing with their young children than mothers do. Even if [they] spend less time with them than their mothers, fathers become meaningful and special to their children through play.” (CIVITAS, 2001)

This very practical half day workshop will look at why dads matter to their children’s learning and focus on the importance of learning through play together. It will also discuss gender differences in play and give practical activity ideas for play sessions with dads and their children.
