Adult caregivers are important for promoting children’s play, which also supports both child and parental well-being.
The Parent/Caregiver Support of Children’s Playfulness (PC–SCP) is an observational tool designed to assess parents’ or other caregivers’ support of children’s playfulness. Using the PC–SCP to assess how parents or caregivers support children’s playfulness can guide clinicians in developing family-centered interventions that promote parent– or caregiver–child relationships as well as skill development.
