PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN POSTPONED. THANK YOU.

Exploring Play With Parents and Children Workshop is a ½ day hands-on workshop for parents and children up to the age of 5.

This workshop will explore children’s play behaviour from infants to preschoolers. Parents will get to share their own play experience with the group and develop positive play guidance skills with their children. Besides focusing on the parent-child interaction in both verbal and non-verbal behaviours, it can also provide an insight on children’s development and play behaviours.

This workshop will be facilitated by Ms Ruth Liew, who is a US-trained Child Developmentalist with over 20 years of working experience in the field of Early Childhood Care and Education and Parenting. She has worked and conducted personnel-training in childcare centre, playgroups, kindergartens and nursery schools. Besides actively participating in advocacy work on children’s issues such as quality child care and children’s right to play and literacy development, she has published several books among others Parenting Toddlers, Parenting Preschoolers and Imagine That! She has also contributed too many parenting magazines, television, radio shows as well as early childhood education journals.

Ruth also volunteers as a speaker and trainer for Personal Safety for Children, Prevention of Child Abuse and Peace Education. Besides this she has presented many papers and talks on children’s rights and positive parenting both in Malaysia and other countries.

The Workshop is jointly organised by The National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) and National Association for Gifted Children, Malaysia (NAGCM).
