Parent Engagement

Maggie Dent Webinar

Out of the Box - Navigating Neurodivergence

Fathering Project

Engaging in interactive role play with your toddler helps to build on their creativity and language development.

As adults, we might not find it intuitive to engage in role play, but we encourage you to give it a go!

Like all areas of learning and development, the skills built in creative play are enriched through practice and experience. By being involved when they would like you to be and providing them with time, space and materials you can support your child’s learning through creative play.   

​​​​​​Top Tips

1.  Be guided

Be guided by them in their role play. Try to go along with their story and not take over or control it.

2. Quiet time

Make sure your children have their quiet time to use their imaginations and be involved in creative play. 

3. Encourage them to use language

You can do this by asking questions and getting them to explain things to you. i.e. "Could you please tell me how much this can of soup costs in your shop?" or "Can you tell me about the treatment you are going to give to my dog at your vet clinic please?"

Dad Joke: Did you hear about the dad that was afraid of hurdles? He got over it!
