The Play Protocol® MasterClass on Universal Childrens Day

🌍 The Play Protocol™: Protecting Childhood in a Changing World

Universal Children’s Day MasterClass with Zelna Lauwrens

🌟 Why This Matters

Around the world, childhood is under pressure. Rising trauma, digital overload, and declining mental health are reshaping a generation. Behind every statistic is a child who needs safety, connection, and hope.

Neuroscience shows us that play is not a luxury, it is the brain’s natural way of processing stress, building resilience, and fostering wellbeing. The Play Protocol® translates this science into a clear, practical coaching framework that equips professionals to respond with confidence.

On Universal Children’s Day, this Brain Building MasterClass will show you how to protect and empower children through play in the face of today’s global challenges.
