    Stages of Play: Nurturing Child Development Through Playtime Adventures with Edx Education

    "Play, Learn and Create" explores the different stages of play that children go through as they develop. Edx Education experts highlights the work of sociologist Mildred Parten who identified six stages of play: unoccupied play, solitary play, onlooker play, parallel play, associative play, and cooperative play. Welch explains that while children may not necessarily abandon previous stages as they age, they tend to spend more time in the progressive stages, eventually engaging in more collaborative forms of play. She emphasizes the importance of providing children with opportunities to play and experiment, noting that following their lead and interests can be more beneficial than imposing complex activities. #edxeducation #playlearncreate #learningthroughplay #stagesofplay #podcast #parenting #happychildrenplay

    Teaching Children to Think: Nurturing Critical and Creative Minds

    In this episode 5 of series 3 Play, Learn & Create with Edx Education, we dive into one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of early childhood education—teaching children to think. Our Edx Education hosts explore how critical and creative thinking are essential skills that lay the foundation for future success. Too often, traditional education systems focus solely on convergent thinking, which is about finding the one right answer. However, this episode highlights the importance of also fostering divergent and lateral thinking, skills that encourage children to explore multiple solutions, think outside the box, and approach problems from new perspectives. We’ll be unpacking three key types of thinking: convergent, divergent, and lateral, and why it's crucial to strike a balance between them. But this isn't just theory—our hosts offer five practical strategies that parents, caregivers, and educators can use to help children become confident thinkers. From giving them choices and encouraging exploration to fostering experimentation and embracing diverse experiences, this episode is packed with actionable tips. Tune in to discover how to empower the next generation to think for themselves and unlock their natural creativity! #edxeducation #playlearncreate #parentpodcast
