Taking back the innocence of childhood from the glare of the screen
Nikita B
This session has deepened my understanding of how children communicate and engage through play. Recognising and responding to play cues not only supports the child's immediate play experience but also contributes to their overall development.
Luisa M
I didn't realise just how important free play is for children and all the benefits it brings for them.
​
I found it really interesting hearing about how we can encourage children to learn using the flow state. I remember that I have done this unintentionally in the past and it has worked really well. It is good to hear about how it is possible to achieve some life skills whilst engaging children in play.
Ellen M
I definitely have new insights from the session, especially the play types. I have more awareness of play cues sent by children which might sometimes be ignored.

Made by me, not artificial intelligence
Hello
My name is Jon Carstairs
Play specialist │Improvised Comedian │Dad
I love playing. I loved it as a child, and I love it as an adult. I have spent my adult life working with children, and the latter years specialising in play. When children play, they develop in every measurable way. When play is curtailed, so too is development. It is my sincere desire to see innocence returned, and for children to experience unrestrained free play in the same way I did. To do this, I have created an online course to share my knowledge, skills and experience with parents.
Why take this course?
You are a parent of a child aged 0-6 who wants to see your children develop in the best way they can. This course will give you the knowledge and skills to bring the fun back to play, clear away barriers to play, transform you play space and overcome screen time challenges.
Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
How do I help my child improve their speaking skills?
How do I make my child more intelligent?
How do I balance screen time?
How do I restore the innocence of childhood?
How do I stop being bored when playing?
How do I come up with new play ideas?
