Play Club Planning Meeting

Let Grow Play Club Planning Meeting
by Cola City Homeschoolers
Wed, April 19 at 3 pm
Free — Parents

This is not just another playground meet-up group. It’s a new kind of play program. Intentionally designed to foster independence, social development, problem solving. 

Come let’s discuss how to implement our own Let Grow Play Club–times, locations, volunteers, and the pledge of independence (for Parents and Kids).

The 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.

• By 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!
• Mixed-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.
• Kids who are allowed to take small risks and figure things out themselves at home will have more grit and determination at school.
