Social Butterflies (Carrboro) – Spring 2024
DEVELOPING PLAY SKILLS & CONFIDENCE IN PEER INTERACTIONS
for children 4 – 6 years old
Social Butterflies is a program focusing on developing the communication and play skills needed to navigate peer interactions and play. Through building awareness of play with others, club members will learn how to expand upon parallel play, focusing on cooperative and reciprocal play with peers. This program will include learning opportunities for peer perspective taking, turn taking and sharing, and understanding consequences and changes that may occur during peer play. This program will include social communication and sensory motor activities in the small sensory gym, games, arts and crafts incorporating concepts from curriculums such as Social Thinking and Zones of Regulation through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.
Goals include:
- Peer perspective taking
- Expansion of parallel play to cooperative/reciprocal play
- Tolerating challenges during play
- Turn taking/sharing/personal space
- Understanding consequences during peer play
