After taking the amazing Deep Play For Kids training with the amazing Missy Brown, the first thing that comes to my mind is that I added a deeper level of connection and understanding of the children in my classroom, and in my life! I noticed all the different styles of learning and the importance of acknowledging and promoting the uniqueness (and special abilities) of each child in my daily teaching. I included many of the tools Missy taught us including breath breaks, play (movement with intention) and mindfulness activities throughout my class. I feel that this training has opened my eyes and heart to soften and see what all the children in my classroom (and life) offer on so many different levels. I have noticed a shift in myself, as a teacher, co worker, friend, parent… to accept myself and share my uniqueness-just as i encourage and teach the children in my classroom to embrace and celebrate their uniqueness! I see this as a gift from DPK to myself and the world.
I wish that everyone could take this training.  This is an amazing opportunity for everyone, especially educators.
