In this episode, we dive deep into the power of play and why it matters at every stage of childhood! Whether you're homeschooling or just juggling parenting, incorporating play can ignite a lifelong love of learning and create magical moments of discovery. From mealworm mazes to Viking bread, we explore how playful learning leads to unexpected adventures and lasting knowledge. So, gather your kids, embrace the fun, and let's make learning an exciting journey together! Tune in now and discover practical tips and heartwarming stories that will inspire you to add more play into your routine. Key Takeaways: Importance of Play: Play is crucial at all stages of development, not just early childhood. It supports critical thinking skills, creativity, problem-solving, and social and emotional development, which are essential for both neurotypical and neurodivergent children. Incorporating Play into Homeschooling: Play should be integrated into homeschooling to make learning enjoyable and effective. This can range from using building blocks and sensory bins for younger children to strategy games and creative projects for older kids. Adaptation of Play with Age: Play evolves as children grow. For young children, it might involve sensory play and role-playing. For older kids and teens, it can include activities like strategy games, creative hobbies, and physical activities. Educational Benefits of Play: Research indicates that playful learning is more effective than passive instruction. It allows kids to retain more information through hands-on, engaging activities. Social and Emotional Learning: Play enhances emotional intelligence and social skills. It helps children manage emotions, develop empathy, and understand different perspectives, which is especially beneficial for neurodivergent children. Unstructured vs. Structured Play: Both unstructured play (imaginative play, free play) and structured play (board games, organized sports) have unique educational benefits. Unstructured play fosters creativity and imagination, while structured play helps reinforce concepts and critical thinking. Play as a Gateway for Neurodivergent Kids: Playful learning can help neurodivergent children grasp difficult concepts more easily. For instance, kids with dyslexia might benefit from interactive word games, while children with dysgraphia could engage in playful handwriting exercises. Family Bonding through Play: Engaging in playful activities as a family strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories. This could be through family game nights, outdoor adventures, or creative projects done together. Resilience and Perseverance: Embracing play, even when it deviates from expectations, models resilience and perseverance for children. It demonstrates that it's okay to enjoy the learning process and adapt to different situations. Continual Offering of Play: For children who resist play, it's important to keep offering and introducing new playful activities. Over time, they may find something that resonates with them, making learning more engaging and enjoyable. Here's a challenge for you -- reflect on your week's learning adventures and share them on social media (don't forget to tag us!) or with us directly through the Learner's Lab. Let's celebrate curiosity and lifelong learning together!

To start it doesn't have to be that hard.Talk a little about the first times we went camping.Choose a location of interestPicking a good camping spot. Depends on family interests, water spots for older kids, near the playground for younger. Planning for when you bring the kids.

Messy Family Podcast : Catholic conversations on marriage and family
Summary Most of us rarely have an opportunity to sit down and talk to a priest, let alone a bishop! We were so blessed to have a conversation with not just a bishop, but an archbishop and one who loves the Lord, loves families, and who leads with the heart of a shepherd. Join us as we talk to Archbishop Naumann of Kansas City who shares his story of growing up without a father and how his mother and family gave him the stability and security he needed to flourish and become the man God called him to be. He provides insights to families in our conversation along with a good dose of humor and practical encouragement. Key Takeaways Family stability and security are essential for children to flourish and fulfill their God-given potential, as Archbishop Naumann's own upbringing exemplifies. Archbishop Naumann emphasizes the importance of love, faith, and commitment within families as foundational elements for building strong communities and societies. Practical encouragement and humor are valuable tools in navigating the challenges and joys of family life, as shared by Archbishop Naumann during the conversation. Couple Discussion Questions How can we emulate the stability and security that Archbishop Naumann experienced in his upbringing within our own family dynamic? In what ways can we prioritize love, faith, and commitment within our family to strengthen our bonds and contribute positively to our community? How can we incorporate humor and practical encouragement into our family life to navigate challenges and foster a spirit of joy and resilience? Reflecting on Archbishop Naumann's insights, what changes or adjustments can we make to our family routines or habits to better reflect our values and priorities? What lessons or inspirations can we take from Archbishop Naumann's story to enhance our own journey as spouses and parents?
Let's have some fun exploring our feelings! It's so important to teach our kids how to identify and express their emotions in empowering and constructive ways. Kids get upset, and often don't have an answer when we ask, “How do you feel?” And, when they do answer, they can have a canned response as a catch-all, like “I'm fine.” The good news is that learning how to articulate feelings, desires, and needs are teachable skills! And, the more often your child practices naming their emotions, the more comfortable and adept they will be at identifying and expressing them in empowering and constructive ways. One of the ways my clients have raised their kids' EQ is adding “feeling words” to their family vocabulary... with a Feelings Chart. For more insights on how to identify and express emotions in constructive ways, watch this short training. I share 10 ways to use a chart that kids love because learning about our emotions doesn't have to be a drag, or only happen when things go wrong. Here are the topics we covered in 10 Ways to Boost EQ with a Feelings Chart. Using movies, songs, and stories to help children recognize certain emotions and relate them to their own lived experiences. Questions to ask our children around their emotional life to promote reflection and growth. Building empathy and body language recognition skills through charades and other games. Learning to identify and name emotions outside of intense moments in order to connect our awareness of feelings and how to express them.

Because happy families make for easier connections!Remember, meaningful moments don't have to be elaborate or expensive. Sometimes, the simplest things - a shared smile, a board game night, or just listening to each other's stories - can have the biggest impact.So join me on this journey to ditch the stress and cultivate more connection. Let's create memories that will last a lifetime, one laugh, one conversation, one simple activity at a time.XOXO, KatieP.S.*The Greater Honor Membership Communityhttp://herhomeandheart.net/tgh*GIFT:10 Secrets To Homeschooling Your High Needs Child WITHOUT Losing Your Mindhttp://herhomeandheart.net/specialneeds REDUCE OVERWHELM in 3 Simple Steps:Step 1) FOCUShttps://bit.ly/focusedmamaStep 2) COMMUNITYhttps://urlgeni.us/facebook/HHAHGroupStep 3) FUN THINGShttps://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeart Question For The Podcast?https://www.speakpipe.com/Katie
