Abstract

The following review is by Angela Stephenson, an early childhood specialist working with diverse groups of parents in Adelaide. She uses The Benevolent Society's Play Power Parent Workshop with her parent groups who have babies and toddlers. She is finding that the workshop activities and resources are both accessible and flexible, and that they help the parents to use everyday moments to engage with their young children, to learn how they grow and develop, and to understand why simple, playful interactions throughout the day are necessary for healthy brain development.
