Why play dates are more than just fun and games

While our moms are busy scrapbooking, card making, quilting, painting or sewing..... during our "Just 4 Moms" program, the kids are also busy. They are getting together for a play date every Wednesday.

The kids are highlighted in the article "The More We Get Together... why play dates are more than just fun and games" (Abilities magazine spring 2011). The author, Lynn Swanson, is a freelance writer who lives in London, Ontario. She writes:

"Play is a kid's job...Play dates allow kids to be kids and to have fun without pressure. It's a great opportunity for them to learn, practise and develop their social skills."
