Kids are back in school with all the new learning and experiences that go along with it! As parents, it's important to support them in building confidence and courage, so they can thrive as they learn and try new things. One way to do this is through imaginative play!
Listen in to 5-Minute Parenting as special guest, Ashley Wall, offers simple examples for using this strategy to support your child's spiritual, mental, and emotional growth and wellbeing.
