Host a private workshop or request more information on an upcoming workshop featuring Why Play? author Chris Pancoast.

After reading the book, Why Play? The Role of Play in Childhood Development, further your education in play by attending one of my workshops. My workshop on play is an engaging experience for all. This workshop covers topics from my book, Why Play? The Role of Play in Early Childhood Development and is a great way to learn how you can incorporate play and providing memorable experiences in your child’s or student’s lives. The workshop can be done in either a 1 hour or 2 hour presentation. The workshop is done at your home or educational center for a minimum of 6 participants. The workshop would be great for educators and parents.

The Why Play Book

The idea for this book came from reflecting back on my 36 years of life, the family I have, the friendships I have had and all of my experiences working in my educational career and helping others. Through these experiences I have recognized that there are no two people who learn alike.

In this book, I describe what “play” really means, the importance of promoting play, the types of play, play theorists and psychologists (including Partens, Freud, Vygotsk, Piaget) learning styles, how play helps children who have special needs, and outdoor play amongst many more fascinating topics. My book is a valuable resource for parents, educators and anyone who is interested in the topic. It includes parent objectives and pages where the reader can jot down thoughts, ideas or what the next family activity may be.

Recently there has been a lot of focus on teaching the next generation everything they need to know. What is possibly detrimental is the approach that some educational systems take pushing children to learn at a very fast pace when they are not developmentally ready.
