Description What should you do to play with your child? What should you say while playing together? Parenting itself is hard work, but playing with your child is no small task either. It's a mystery where children find the energy to play all day and still want more. Of course, adults, just like children, would rather play than study or work. But for parents who are already grown, it can feel overwhelming not knowing what kind of play their child enjoys, how to play with them, or what to say during playtime. It becomes even more stressful when you hear that play is essential to early childhood development. You might even worry that you've been playing with your child in too limited or repetitive a way. But there's no need to feel so anxious about it. Just as we all know how important it is to eat a variety of foods to stay healthy rather than eating just one thing, the same principle applies to play. All you need to do is enjoy play together with your child according to their physical, cognitive, social, language, and emotional development. In that spirit, Dr. Oh Eun-young's new book, 'How Should I Play With My Child? 1,' will completely resolve the worries of parents struggling with playtime. The long-awaited 'secret guide to play' that supports your child's balanced development has finally arrived! 'How Should I Play With My Child? 1' is a play guidebook for every parent wondering what to do and how to play with their child. This book contains 100 enjoyable play activities suited to children ages 3 to 4 (36-59 months). Note that the companion volume for ages 5-6 (60-83 months), 'How Should I Play With My Child? 2,' is scheduled for release in the first half of 2024. In this book, the age range of 3 to 4 years is further divided by month into four stages: age 3 (36-41 months), age 3 (42-47 months), age 4 (48-53 months), and age 4 (54-59 months). For each stage, play activities are organized into five developmental areas—physical, cognitive, social, language, and emotional—with helpful activities introduced for each area. While it's ideal to enjoy activities from all areas evenly, feel free to focus more on the areas your child especially needs. The 100 play activities in this book were researched, developed, and verified by the research team at Oh Eun Life Science, which includes Dr. Oh Eun-young along with play therapists, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists, speech therapists, and cognitive therapists—making them both effective and trustworthy. A reliable companion for a joyful growth journey where both children and parents thrive. Now it's time to enjoy these activities together with your child. Rotating through play activities suited to your child's developmental stage across different areas also supports their balanced growth. Still, it's completely normal to feel unsure about how to play with your child—after all, no one starts out being good at everything. For parents who are still finding their footing with playtime, this book thoughtfully includes detailed instructions on materials needed, how to play, helpful tips, and guardian guides. If you're not sure what to say, you can simply read the suggested phrases straight from the play instructions. As you play together, your child will feel joy, and seeing your child happy will bring you joy too. Beyond that, sharing playtime together helps parents understand their children more deeply, and strengthens the bond of attachment between parent and child. Just as children grow every day through play, parents also grow and change every day as caregivers. This book will serve as a steady and reassuring guide for the joyful, meaningful growth journey shared between parent and child.
