It’s a new kind of play program. Intentionally designed to foster independence\, social development\, problem solving.  \nCome let’s discuss how to implement our own Let Grow Play Club–times\, locations\, volunteers\, and the pledge of independence (for Parents and Kids). \nThe Club is the brainchild of Let Grow co-founder Dr. Peter Gray\, the eminent psychologist who has spent his life studying the crucial role of unstructured\, mixed-age “free play” in developing children’s creativity\, confidence\, and ability to thrive. \n\nBy organizing their own games and learning to solve the inevitable spats\, kids learn real-world social skills. You can’t solve problems if there’s always an adult right there at recess or in a play group\, solving them first!\nMixed-age play benefits all kids. Older students develop responsibility\, leadership and empathy. Younger kids learn executive function by trying to be like the big kids.\nKids who are allowed to take small risks and figure things out themselves at home will have more grit and determination at school.\n\nContact Kim with any questions: colacityinfo@gmail.com\nSign up here to get the zoom link for the planning meeting. \n\n\n \n Parent Name\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n EmailLook for an automated confirmation when you submit and follow up info with the zoom link. \n \n Mobile PhoneInclude a number just in case we need to text you the meeting reminder and details.
