The Hidden Power of Play: How Fun Builds Real-Life Skills

Play isn’t “just” fun — it’s your child’s built-in way of practicing the skills they’ll use for life.

This session shows you how everyday play (screens optional) strengthens emotional intelligence, problem-solving, and confidence through one simple pattern: the learning loop.

You’ll leave with clear, practical ways to recognize growth moments in the play your child is already doing — and a clearer sense of what’s really happening beneath the fun.

Join Rosalinda Hernandez, CEO & Co-Founder of Red Iron Labs for a lively, story-driven session that explores:

• Why play is a child’s most natural learning system

• How shows like Bluey illustrate emotional growth (and where they miss key steps)

• The game patterns that turn frustration into confidence

• A simple, screen-free way to notice and support these moments at home
