The play-based approach was shaped over a decade of raising children across seven countries, five in Eastern Europe, a journey which deeply influenced my parenting and educational philosophy. While my background in physical education and child development highlighted the importance of healthy physical, mental, and emotional growth, our experiences emphasized a deeper need for children to feel seen, loved, and capable. This emotional foundation is key to their happiness and high self-esteem. Through exposure to diverse educational systems and approaches, I learned the profound impact of play and multisensory experiences on children's overall development, especially in fostering social confidence and belief in their capabilities.
By the end of 2016, after moving to New Jersey and refining the game approach, I published my book, "B SmART 'n PLAY - Play, Explore, Connect, and have endless fun with games YOU create", outlining a step-by-step 2 Multitasking games that blend creativity, art, critical thinking, and movement into an ongoing playful platform that supports children's healthy, creative, development.
Over the years, I’ve conducted hundreds of programs based on the playful approach in workshops, classes, summer camps, and extracurricular programs in educational settings. I have also developed and led large-scale community projects based on game-creating and play.
I have witnessed firsthand how children naturally connect, regardless of age, gender, or nationality,
how to play and multisensory activities enrich children's lives, engaging them for long periods with ease and naturalness away from screens.
During these years, I’ve also taught swimming and Hebrew lessons, an experience which has affirmed and strengthened my insights about children's diverse needs. It reinforced the importance of creating an approach that works for a wide range of children while still being adaptable to each individual’s unique requirements.
In 2023, I began leading workshops for parents and professionals, focusing on fostering vital, creative development in the screen age.
After years of fieldwork and research, I’m excited to share this innovative approach with educators and therapists throughout professional programs that implement new tools to dynamically, continuously, and diversely integrate responses to various areas of development and nurture broad creativity in children and adults alike.
