Purposeful Play: Empowering Parents to Connect, Engage & Learn with Their Child

We all want the best for our children—and play is at the heart of how they learn, grow, and thrive.

But sometimes, knowing how to support that play in meaningful, intentional ways can feel overwhelming.

That’s where Purposeful Play comes in.

This practical, interactive talk is designed especially for parents and carers, helping them notice and follow their child’s unique interests. Using design thinking activities, parents will explore simple, effective ways to create playful moments that engage their child—and deepen their connection.
