Did you know play isn’t just for extroverts who love the spotlight? Introverts and extroverts experience play in unique ways, and both gain immense benefits. For introverts, it offers a reflective space to recharge and deepen connections. For extroverts, it’s a chance to thrive in group dynamics and build bonds.
Play’s true power lies in its adaptability—it meets you where you are and helps you grow naturally. Let’s explore ways tailored play enhances social skills and well-being for every personality type!
