Abstract: | This exploratory study examined whether the kindergarten PLAYBAG intervention protocol administered for parents and children during the pandemic in Hong Kong could generate positive outcomes in embracing play freedom, fostering positive parent–child relationships, and promoting parents’ mental health. Self-administrated questionnaires were used to generate quantitative data before and after the distribution of the PLAYBAG intervention protocol. A total of 32 parents who completed both the pre-test and post-test were investigated regarding the outcomes of PLAYBAG. Recommendations from the study suggest enhancing the PLAYBAG protocol to address the specific needs of parents from different socio-economic backgrounds and help resolve the difficulties experienced by parents in engaging in free play with their children. Consideration should also be given to empowering children’s voices in the co-creation of a free play environment. |
