Andrew Klein, the Clinical Director of Occupational Therapy at Emerge Durham, discusses the significance of play in childhood development, particularly through the floor time approach. He highlights that play creates a safe environment for children, especially those with developmental differences, allowing them to explore and learn actively. Klein emphasises the joy of play, the importance of focusing on the process rather than outcomes, and engaging with children on their level. He suggests making oneself part of the play to foster connections, encouraging children to engage with people as they do with their toys. Future discussions will delve into affect and individual differences in children.
