Play is the primary way children learn about the world. However, children with special educational needs sometimes find it difficult to spontaneously join in games.
\nHere are some useful tips for parents:
\n1. Start with simple actions.
\nRepeat one action (e.g., throwing a ball) \u2014 this creates a sense of predictability.
\n2. Play nearby.
\nEven if the child does not join in, stay close and demonstrate the game. Eventually, they will begin to observe and repeat.
\n3. Comment on what is happening.
\nEven if the child is silent, describe their actions with simple phrases: \u201cYou are rolling the car,\u201d \u201cOh, that’s a red ball.\u201d
\n4. Follow the child.
\nIf the child is interested in a particular toy, join in the activity, even if it seems a little \u201cunconventional\u201d to you.
\n5. Don’t rush.
\nLearning through play requires patience. Small steps are also victories.
\nWe help children not only learn to play, but also get real pleasure from playing. And this is the basis for the development of social skills, speech, and imagination.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
