Belonging

A young child and Playground artist are on a white piece of material together. They are playing with a feather and torch.
Back to Playground on Screen

Belonging highlights the role of arts-based experiences in developing a sense of self. The accompanying podcast is a conversation between the mother of a child and his teacher about nurturing confidence, trust and curiosity.

And then every week, you could just see the confidence growing in him. And I think those smaller sessions are what really helped, because it was like that one on one, he wasn't overwhelmed.
