Play isn’t just play. It’s how children learn, connect, and grow.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to engage with your child through play, you’re not alone. Play can feel simple on the surface, but creating the right environment and knowing how to join in meaningfully takes more than just good intentions.
If you’re:
• Wondering how play supports emotional and social development
• Unsure how to set up a play space that encourages independence
• Wanting to nurture your child’s creativity but don’t know where to start
This guide will help.
Created by clinical psychologist Emily Hanlon and play therapist Sarah Bolitho, Teach Me Through Play is a practical resource that shows you how to support your child’s development through purposeful play.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- How play evolves through developmental stages
- How to confidently engage in play without taking over
- How to set up a space that invites curiosity, imagination, and independence
- Why the right kind of play supports brain development and emotional growth
You’ll also get a set of printable toy room labels to help you organise your space and reduce overwhelm: for both you and your child.
This isn’t about being the perfect parent. It’s about showing up with purpose and playfulness.
Let this guide take the guesswork out of play so you can focus on what matters most… connection.
