| book description |

For effective use, this book should be purchased alongside the story books, Mia Belongs Here and School is Where We All Belong. The books can be purchased individually or as a set, Building Conceptual PlayWorlds for Belonging: Stories and Activities to Build a Sense of Belonging. Fostering a sense of belonging in early childhood is crucial for the development and wellbeing of young children. This practical resource is for use with children aged 4-8 to help build strong connections and a sense of belonging. Through the practice of mindfulness, children are encouraged to pause and fully engage with the place and moment they are in. Based on the Conceptual PlayWorld, an evidence-based model of intentional teaching developed by Professor Marilyn Fleer, this book includes a range of research-informed activities. Each chapter provides educators with a Conceptual PlayWorld to implement which will engage children in practical scenarios and problem-solving activities rooted in play. They address different aspects of belonging at home and in school settings, aiming to foster empathy, inclusion, and community in young learners. The narratives are crafted around two foundational storybooks, Mia Belongs Here and School is Where We All Belong, enhancing the connection between storytelling and experiential learning. In a world of increasing rates of loneliness, disconnection and social isolation, opportunities to encourage a sense of belonging in children have never been more needed. This unique educational resource will help teachers, practitioners and parents empower children to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
