Creating a home environment that supports meaningful play can feel like a constant puzzle, from managing toy overload to setting up spaces that actually encourage focus, creativity, and independence. So today I'm sharing a conversation with Myriam Sandler, the creator of the hugely popular Mothercould platform and the author of the new book Playful by Design: A Stress-Free Guide to Raising Confident, Creative Kids through Independent Play. As a mother of three, Myriam shares engaging, easy-to-follow video tutorials that offer accessible DIY play ideas, parenting hacks, family travel tips, and more on her wildly popular Instagram and TikTok. Though I'm no longer dealing with toys lying around the house and cluttering our communal spaces, I definitely found life with my child's toys challenging, from how to organize them and store them, to how to avoid having too many toys that never got used. I really could have used Myriam's insights way back then. But if you're still very much in it and sharing a home and life with things like toys, art supplies, and more, have a listen to this episode. Myriam and I discussed the power of independent play and why less is more when it comes to toys, how boredom can actually be a gift, and how small tweaks, like decluttering a play space or setting up “play hotspots,” can make a big difference in your child's ability to play solo. Myriam really believes in making the space you have, the toys you have, and the system you implement work for you instead of trying to make someone else's system work for your family. I hope you walk away feeling empowered knowing that you don't need a ton of new things but just some time to evaluate what's working and what's not. About my guest Myriam Sandler is the creator of Mothercould (@mothercould), a beloved kids' activity and family lifestyle community trusted by millions of families. As a mother of three, Myriam shares engaging, easy-to-follow video tutorials that offer accessible DIY play ideas, parenting hacks, family travel tips, and more. Mothercould has grown to offer family-friendly, problem-solving products now available at major retailers. You'll learn: Why boredom is an important aspect of sparking creativity and self-directed play How fewer toys can lead to deeper, more meaningful play The way that decluttering creates space for imagination to flourish What the key ingredients to independent play are, and what means and looks like The importance of boundaries and consistency in supporting sustained solo play How play “hotspots” and sensory activities can foster connection and emotional release Resources: Mothercould Playful by Design: A Stress-Free Guide to Raising Confident, Creative Kids through Independent Play by Myriam Sandler Mothercould on Instagram Mothercould on Facebook Playful By Design website Mothercould on TikTok Learn more about your ad choices.

Raising creative kids isn't just about paintbrushes and piano lessons—it's also about noticing how they think, solve problems, and dream up deas.

We share what's worked in our own families, where we've had to shift our thinking, and some of the misconceptions we've had about what being “creative” really means.

How many times have you either said or heard someone say, "I'm not creative." Many people think you are either creative or you're not but, as we'll learn from Director at Crayola Education Cheri Sturman, that is officially a MYTH - listen to this episode and learn why. Cheri talks about so many amazing ways to find creativity in every day life and incorporate this into your life and the life of your child. Cheri Sterman, Director at Crayola Education, is at the helm of Crayola's Creativity Week – a free program focused on celebrating creativity through educational content that more than 4.5 million students and approximately 285,000 educators in the U.S. participated in last year alone. This year, Creativity Week runs January 27th through February 2nd.

With her extensive background in child development, education, and the creative process, Cheri is uniquely positioned to discuss the complex nature of creativity and its critical role in fostering essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and emotional intelligence. During this interview Cheri explores: Redefining Creativity: How Crayola is broadening the definition of creativity to encompass cognitive skills, emotional development, and problem-solving. Empowering Parents: Practical tips for parents to integrate creative moments into daily life and nurture creativity beyond traditional arts and crafts and learn how parents can access free resources through Crayola's Creativity Week.

Creativity and the Future: Discussing how fostering creativity equips children to tackle future challenges by developing flexible thinking and innovative problem-solving skills. Here are 5 Simple Creative Moments You Can Create At Home that don't cost anything and don't take very much time: 1) Take a nature walk, even just down your block, and notice the shapes, colors and sounds. 2) Use travel time in new ways - when you're stuck in traffic or on a road trip, make up a funny story or add new lyrics to a familiar song. 3) If you have a project you need to work on, give the kids some blankets and cardboard boxes and tell them to build a fort or an obstacle course and then once you finish your project, go play in the fort or go through the course with your kids. 4) Give the kids fabric scraps and pillow cases and let them make costumes and make up a play 5) Break down a cardboard box or two and let them use them to make new things - like a bridge across a puddle or a ramp for their toy cars. Just enjoy the moments and let your kids think freely - you'll be glad you did and you'll be amazed at what you learn! Find out more at www.crayola.com and on their YouTube Channel here.

"Most kids' music sucks." "Creativity is the number one skill." "You got to explore it." In this episode of the Young Dad Podcast, host Jey and guest Jeff F discuss the importance of creativity in children's music and parenting. Jeff shares his background in positive psychology and music, emphasizing the need for authentic and engaging children's music that respects kids' perspectives. They explore ways to spark creativity in both parents and children, the emotional and social benefits of music, and the critical role of arts education. Jeff also shares his journey of creating music for kids and the significance of family bonding through creative endeavors. The conversation wraps up with advice for new dads and a fun conspiracy theory about Jimi Hendrix and Morgan Freeman. Takeaways Most children's music fails to capture authentic experiences. Creativity is essential for both children and adults. Parents should model creativity for their kids. Music can significantly impact emotional well-being. Engaging in arts fosters social connections. Creativity can be expressed in various forms, not just traditional art. The arts are crucial for children's development. Creating music can strengthen family bonds.

We have four very creative kids who spend HOURS each day creating things (the most recent was an elaborate tin can phone system complete with bells and wall mounts for the cans to go between the top and bottom bunk). In this week's episode, I'm sharing the things we've done that have made the biggest impact on raising creative children. 8 Tips For Raising Creative Kids Encourage their interests. For example, from the time our son was 18 months old, he used our couches to build vehicles. To support this, we built wooden boxes he could combine with stools, chairs, and a nugget couch. This has sparked endless imaginative constructions. Expose your kids to new experiences Anytime our kids get in a funk and don't know what to do, we try to take them somewhere and let them experience something new. These experiences provide fresh inspiration to fuel their creative ideas. Have supplies on hand We like to have scissors, glue, cardboard, and paint on hand at our house. Think about the things your kids like to create and make those supplies accessible, easy to use, and easy to put away. Teach kids basic skills We've taught our kids how to knit, crochet, carve, use the sewing machine, hand sew, and weave. Giving them these basic skills has allowed them to create even more things. While we don't force these skills on them, we support their interests by teaching them what they need to bring their ideas to life. Get books from the library on a variety of topics Borrow books from the library on various subjects. Exposing your kids to a wide range of topics is crucial for sparking their creativity and broadening their horizons. Help your kids create the things they want If our kids say they want something we help them make it. We've made shoe and coat racks, bows and arrows, chisels, hammers, swords, and shields. When they were little we were much more involved. As they've gotten older and more experienced, we've allowed them more independence as they create and build. Allow them to listen to audiobooks while they create Audiobooks are a fantastic way to keep kids engaged while they create We've found a good audiobook can extend their creative projects. Model creativity Creativity starts with us as parents. By modeling creativity, involving our kids in our projects, and providing inspiration, we set the stage for them to be more creative. We actively support their ideas and encourage them to explore and experiment. One of the most impactful things you can do as a parent is to develop a high tolerance for stepping back and letting your kids create. This might mean occasional disruptions, like missing kitchen chairs or dealing with creative messes. We're currently teaching our kids to clean up after their projects, balancing creativity with responsibility. The more we embrace their creativity, the more it flourishes. Every mess, project, and mistake all add up to a fulfilling and creative life.

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises. The science kids vs the artsy kids, it's an age-old debate. But what if we have been looking at it all wrong? What if instead of grouping our kids into two groups we saw creativity as crucial to solving STEM-based problems? Holly and Andrew are joined by the authors of the Wednesday Week's series Cristy Burne and Denis Knight to chat about why creative thinking might be the key to solving some of our biggest global problems and why we should encourage our kids to think the same. Plus, this week's listener dilemma... can you force another child to come to your kids birthday if their parents said no? LINKS Cristy and Denis's book Wednesday Weeks and the Tower of Shadow is out now!

In past episodes we have discussed non-traditional therapies. At the FRC, we strongly believe that non-traditional therapies segue to traditional therapy and can support it. We have partnered with different organizations in the community to provide programming in non-traditional therapies that encourages healing and resiliency. For this episode, we introduce you to one of our wonderful partners, Creative Kids, a local non-profit educational community-based art agency located in El Paso. Through this episode we'll discuss the importance of providing a safe space where children can express their emotions through art. We also talk about the benefits of art therapy and how it can boost children's mental health.
In a world of entrenched positions and prescribed roles, expanding our definitions of gender requires the courage to dive deep into understanding and acceptance. On this episode, we meet the subjects of Christina Willings' new documentary Beauty, which explores the lives of five gender-creative kids, each uniquely engaged in shaping their ideas of what it means to be fully human. For these kids, claiming their own sense of gender when everything around them insists that they comply and conform can be challenging — even scary. We also hear from Christina about what compelled her to the make the film, and what grown-ups can do to ensure a safer and more accepting world for these young people. Show Notes Love our work?

Kathryn interviews journalist Healther Shumaker, author of “It's Okay to Go Up the Slide: Renegade Rules for Raising Confident and Creative Kids”. Shumaker has an unusual stance on many hot-button parenting topics. For one, she believes we should ban homework and allow our kids to spend their time doing better things, and studies support her opinion. According to recent research, homework has no academic benefit in elementary school, and has very little impact in middle school. In her latest book Shumaker advocates for reinventing our concept of proper parenting, including doing away with homework during the early years and not discouraging our kids from expressing their anger—even if it means being mean. Shumaker's writings have appeared in the New York Post, The Huffington Post, Parenting and Pregnancy. She blogs at Starlighting Mama.
