BANANAS

Parents explore the incredible role of play in learning, from problem-solving to emotional resilience. Families will walk away with simple ways to create meaningful play at home (with or without commercial materials).

This session focuses on using connection and play as primary tools for guidance. Parents learn how brief moments of playful engagement before giving directions can reduce power struggles, increase cooperation, and strengthen relationships.

Parents explore foundational tools for helping children manage big feelings. Strategies include naming emotions, building calming routines, and using empathy and play to support self-regulation.

This closing celebration brings families together to reflect on growth, share successes and “real-life wins,” and honor their commitment to strengthening relationships with their children. The session includes a guided reflection, small group discussion, and a summary of all workshop themes. Parents receive a Family Connection Toolkit.
