Open-ended play is essential for all ages, particularly children five and under. This is a time when children are experiencing the most significant amount of brain development in their lives—in fact, studies show that 90 percent of brain development occurs before the age of five. Henderson says that encouraging open-ended play in young children improves the following:
learning skills
problem-solving
self-regulation
frustration tolerance
gross and fine motor skills
creativity
social-emotional development

Children are born with the ability to detect threats and feel feelings, but they are not born with the ability to regulate their emotions —- this comes much, much later.

We cannot punish a young brain into growth, but we can model and nurture the skills we want to cultivate.

👉Co-regulation is the ability to regulate emotions and behaviors to soothe and manage stressing internal sensory input or external situations, with the support and direction of a connecting individual.

👉Co-regulation is nurturing connection of another individual that supports regulation needs through the use of strategies, tools, and calming techniques in order to self-soothe or respond in times of stress.

👉Co-regulation and self-regulation are part of the developmental process.
