In this episode, we look at how we can let go of all our expectations of what play 'should' look like and embrace the messy, joyful and fun play that builds our kiddos brains.
So what's this conversation REALLY about?
Why play needs to be part of every family's life (NOT in a 'to do' way)
What PLAY is - and what it's NOT - and how it looks in action. (HINT: this doesn't come from a pretty Pinterest board or Instagram account)
Why process vs product is so essential to our kiddos
How teaching children who don't speak the same language taught me something surprising about play
There is not a 'one size fits all' approach to play
Pretty gets in the way of play. Often, the prettier an idea is or the more structured it is or the more outcomes based it is, the less beneficial it is for our young children and the less able they can explore and learn
Play isn't perfect - kids will get angry and frustrated - this is okay and totally normal
If you want to truly understand WHAT play is and how you can foster more of it in your home (hint: it doesn't involve spending a fortune on hand whittled wooden toys) this episode is for you.
