Playgroups - why they are important?
They help children develop social skills such as taking turns, sharing, cooperating and solving conflicts. They are a great way for children to learn the skill of making friends and it is a skill that needs to be learnt. What better place to learn it than on neutral territory.
Play groups also help build self-esteem - the feeling of I can. I can join in, I can feel safe here, I can do these activities, I can wait for my turn.
Playgroups are also great for parents and other carers to get together and chat and interact with their children.
