Remembering… Playfulness
Laura, one of PSN’s Social Workers in Schools (SWiS) noticed that a number of children and their caregivers were struggling to connect at home. She wanted to find a way for children and their parents/caregivers to connect more intentionally and learn to play together and strengthen the relationship between them.
Lego was the answer!
The vision is for the 600 families at Redoubt Road Primary School to have a set of lego to play with at home. So far 200 sets have been purchased so if you would like to help this school achieve this goal please contact Anne.overton@psn.org.nz.
