Play is vital to children's overall healthy development. When they have difficulty joining play or participating in group play, it's important to pinpoint the challenges that are occurring.

This workbook focuses on the reasons why play might not be easy for children—due to language delays, shyness, special needs, or trauma, for example—and provides specific language and activities to facilitate play and help children improve their play skills. It also presents self-assessments, reflection questions, exercises, and specific ways you can help children develop deeper, more meaningful play experiences.
