Helping parents to play
The play's the thing
Murray, J.
Looks at the help given to a family by the Portsmouth Play Development Project, which encourages parents to bond with their children through play.
The project, funded by Sure Start and the Pre-school Learning Alliance, is open to families with one or more children under five.
Referrals come from health visitors, behavioural specialists and parents and carers. Senior play development worker, Hayley Gains, said, 'Many of the parents we support have not had the opportunity to play freely or be heard during their own childhood, so they don't know how to play
with their children'.
