“My child won’t play alone.”

“She only wants the iPad.”

“He doesn’t know how to play with other kids.”

“We don’t know how to play together anymore.”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.


Today’s fast-paced, tech-filled world makes it harder for families to slow down, explore, and enjoy playing together.


Yet play remains one of the most powerful ways children learn and build:

  • motor skills
  • social confidence
  • creativity
  • emotional regulation
  • attention
  • self-esteem


Our Play Development Wellness Visit helps families understand how play develops — and how to make it a natural, joyful part of everyday life again.

Play is not “just fun” — it is the foundation of childhood learning.
Through play, children learn to think, problem-solve, self-regulate, and build social understanding.


  • Infancy: exploring with hands and mouth, cause-and-effect toys
  • Toddlers:  building, pretending, simple imitation
  • Preschoolers: imaginative play, stories, role play
  • Early School Age:  cooperative games, rules, teamwork


Understanding where your child falls within this natural progression helps you support growth — without pressure or comparison.


Your child relies heavily on screens or structured entertainment

Independent play is difficult or short-lived

Playing with peers feels overwhelming or confusing

Playtime at home feels stressful, forced, or unproductive
