Mary Poppins Children's Centre

The wonderful kids and staff at Mary Poppins Children’s Centre showing their support once again for The Reach For A Dream Foundation by participating in the fundraiser.

Emotional education. Many of us never got it, so how do we pass it on to the next generation? We do it... over time, starting right here where we are, today.

We do it through CONNECTION... not perfection.

This should be every parents wish.....

Let them play.

Play improves the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children. Through play, children learn about the world and themselves.

They also learn skills they need for study, work, and relationships, such as:

Confidence
Self-esteem
Resilience
Interaction
Social skills
Independence
Curiosity
Coping with challenging situations

PLAY IS GOOD FOR ADULTS TOO!!! Whether it's exercising, knitting, reading, or riding a bike-- wherever you (1) Lose sense of time (2) You do it just because you LOVE it (3) You don't feel self-conscious doing it. Play in adulthood is related to resiliency, joy, life satisfaction, and it curbs against depression and anxiety!
