Play Coaching at Rabbi

The first to offer behavior training in the city, the Center offers a new form of intervention where students are able to explore and learn skills that will help them become the best version of themselves; to build a better tomorrow and create a thousand possibilities and; to give parents opportunities to be there and be with their child as they grow.

At Rabbi, we believe that the early years of the child are for development and where various challenging behaviors arise, which, if not given proper intervention, the behaviors would manifest and aggravate as they get older. Thus, we not only teach our students how to become the best version of themselves but we also teach them how to cope with stress, adapt to the environment, integrate their learnings and skills - by means of play coaching.

Play Coaching is a teaching technique that Rabbi Behavioral Support and Learning Services use during the child’s sessions. Through this, we are able to get to know the children’s behavior, personality, strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. From the gathered data, the Teachers are able to create the students’ personalized programs.

Through this technique, a child’s waiting, following simple instructions, and eye contact are managed successfully by play. Not only do we help our students but as well as the parents whom we teach through our scheduled parent training, seminars, and workshops conducted at Rabbi.

Why play? Because it is through play that children are able to develop their imagination, dexterity, physical cognitive, and emotional strength. (Ginsburg KR, 2007) In this generation, children playing outside is a rare sight, even before covid had begun, as they are inside their homes and exposed only to televisions, phones, and other gadgets.

As young as they are, children are already exposed and well versed with today’s technology and trends as parents willingly allow such to make children distracted or sit and stay in one place, making them independent of it, which hampers them to develop to their unique potential. Toddlers and young children are supposed to have exposure outside, through play and socializing, with proper supervision so that they may explore and discover the world around them freely.

However, technology isn’t the problem here. It is only a mere instrument where parents use to keep children busy while they do other stuff such as house chores or simply to take a break or rest. Modern-day parents have no time in their hands as they are busy juggling their responsibilities. Some might say that the lucky are those who can hire a nanny or babysitter as they have someone or somebody who can look after their child while they work or go to school. Little did they know that children will most likely recognize and trust their nannies and sitters more than their own parents and the latter will not have any chance to get to know their children.
