SUMMARY:Let Grow Play Club
DESCRIPTION:Let Grow Play Club\nby: Cola City Homeschoolers\nAugust 1\, 10-noon\nAll Ages\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\nOur club sessions will be on Tuesdays from 10-noon\, with a monthly commitment so we can manage the participants and “lifeguards” for each play club session. We’re moving the location indoors to beat the heat.\nLocation: Richland Library (Main/Downtown) 1431 Assembly St\, Columbia \nThere’s a large children’s room with open areas for kids to gather for self-directed activities. There’s also a designated teens only area (even parents aren’t allowed in).\nSomething for any age.
