Benefits of family in education

Express and understand complex emotions

According to the LEGO Foundation: "Parent-child role-playing games are an ideal space for sentiment analysis and reasoning execution." Boys and girls do not understand their emotions and therefore struggle to express them. Therefore, playing with them helps them to express themselves better than they would under normal circumstances.

Spending playful time with our daughters and sons is a way of communicating that we like being with them. This makes them feel loved and helps them gain confidence. A child who is sure of his parents' affection can take on anything. Feeling loved is not only a feeling that adults crave, children also need to feel safe and loved.

What better way to connect with our son than to descend to his level and see the world as he does? This means that we are genuinely and decidedly participating in their world and that we are interested in understanding it. This creates strong bonds and helps them develop emotional and social skills. A healthy relationship with parents is a very important foundation for their growth. This relationship lays the foundations of the infant's personality and general behavior.

Children learn cause and effect by playing with their parents, a very important cognitive skill. For example, they learn what certain musical instruments or toys do by watching their parents play with them. This favors their cognition and can happen very early if families participate in their playful time.

According to the LEGO Foundation, it points out that mutual exchanges and interactions during playtime help them build neural connections. In this way, they develop strong communication and social skills. On the other hand, they will be able to pick up on social cues and it will be useful even in their adult life.
