Connect & Play: Self-Care Superstars
About Connect & Play
Connect & Play is a family-centered program that supports both parents and children. While parents learn strategies and connect with one another, children engage in guided activities that build independence, emotional regulation, and practical life skills.
Your Purpose
-
Treat children with dignity and respect; speak to them as you would any other child.
-
Engage children in self-care activities such as brushing teeth, washing hands, and tying shoes through play and role-play.
-
Support emotional regulation through calming strategies and sensory tools.
-
Be attentive: children may walk, roll, or ride, and some may wander, gently redirect or follow if needed.
-
Create a warm, welcoming environment so parents can participate with peace of mind.
-
Build positive connections with children by being patient, encouraging, and present.
