The Neuroscience of Play ✨

Play isn’t only fun & games, it’s brain work. When children play, they’re building skills they need for learning and relationships.

💡 Here’s what happens in the brain during play:

🧩 New neural connections form for focus, flexibility & regulation

💬 Social & emotional areas light up for empathy & communication

💖 Oxytocin rises → stress drops → learning feels safe again

For children who struggle socially, emotionally, or academically, play isn’t a break from learning, it’s the bridge to it.

When a child struggles with anxiety, it can take over the whole household. Suddenly your schedule, your plans, and even your sleep are built around avoiding triggers.

The S.P.A.C.E. program is designed for parents and caregivers of children with anxiety, OCD, or related challenges. Here’s what to expect:

💙 Learn practical techniques to respond to anxiety without fueling it
🧠 Discover how to set healthy, supportive boundaries
🗣 Join a group where every parent has a chance to share and feel understood
🌟 Leave with tools that actually change how your home feels
🎓 Can be reserved through the Step Up Scholarship

Led by Dr. Shey (Star Psychology) and Dr. Lamb (Lamb Psychological Services), this program focuses on changes parents can make to reduce stress and help kids gain confidence.
