Rough and Tumble, Superhero, and Power Play: Unpacking Benefits and Considerations

Children naturally engage in various types of Power Play, such as Superhero and Rough and Tumble play. While this type of play comes naturally to children, it often raises concerns for educators. How do we ensure safety without stifling exploration? How can we communicate the developmental benefits of this play to parents and fellow educators? In this workshop, we will delve into developmental frameworks and the key functions of play to understand why children are drawn to these activities, and we’ll also explore ways we can support them.
