Lesson Summary:
Children learn through play, imagination, drawing, and early writing as they begin forming identities and building connections with peers.
Dr. Kevin Skinner (LMFT, CSAT-S, EMDR), a licensed marriage and family therapist, explains that encouraging curiosity, creativity, and social interaction through preschool, playdates, and group activities helps support mental, physical, and emotional growth while preparing children for school.
Creating safe, playful environments where kids can connect with others lays the foundation for healthy relationships beyond the family.
