Do you struggle with playing with your kids? When playfulness is required to make a difficult moment easier, do you feel blocked, stuck, shut-down, or reactive?In this episode, therapists Cara and Rythea dive into the transformative power of playing with your kids, no matter their age. They explore the why behind play—why it's essential for healthy development and connection—and dig into the research on the benefits of play in strengthening the parent-child relationship. Through both personal stories and professional insights, they discuss the systemic and emotional barriers that can prevent parents from embracing play and share practical ways to overcome these obstacles. Cara sheds light on how to guide kids through story and play, especially neurodiverse children, drawing from her experience working with families and ND kids. From letting go of perfectionism to using improv skills to meet kids on their level, Cara and Rythea discuss how to become more playful and attuned as parents, regardless of past experiences with play.Tune in to discover how to turn playtime into meaningful, joyful connection time with your kids!Resources from this episode:Rythea's book recommendation: Playful Parenting: An Exciting New Approach to Raising Children That Will Help You Nurture Close Connections, Solve Behavior Problems, and Encourage Confidence by Lawrence J.

As you may know, Season 4 of this podcast is all about responding to YOUR questions. Your interests. And lately, I have been asked a LOT about my parenting philosophy. Which honestly, I think is RICH because I really don't know what the hell I'm doing.  BUT, I do have 15 years+ of experience of being a parent, and I have worked EXTREMELY hard at being the best version of myself as a mother, without being weird about it.  So this episode is my attempt to offer parents of all stripes (this isn't just a mothering conversation) three things:  The core beliefs that have been essential to me as a parent  The systems and habits that have paid massive dividends to our little fam, and lastly …  The #fails. The What I Wish I'd Knowns. The things I'd love to impart to the young parents coming up—or the ones who still have time to course-correct before their chickens fly the coop. Give it a listen, and below are the books/resources I mention during the show: Blessings of a Skinned Knee: Raising Resilient Children by Wendy Mogel Love & Logic Positive parenting workshops, books, resources Playful Parenting by Lawrence J. Cohen As always, I thank you for your ears and hearts. Can't wait to hear what you think about this one. It's a deeply personal episode for me.

Let's imagine a scene, where you take your daughter to a playground on a beautiful sunny afternoon. While playing on the slide, your daughter is almost slammed on the head by a boy who was impatiently sliding down after her. A few minutes earlier the same boy had caused another child to cry. The boy's mother rushes over and hits him in the arm, aggressively scolding him, “I told you never to do that again, why don't you ever listen to me? Now stop playing and let's go home!” She then tugs and drags the boy away while he cries. The mother is evidently frustrated by the child's action, but her method of educating and correcting the boy is counterproductive. Now imagine a different scenario where a boy pushes a little girl off the slide. When his mother comes over, she doesn't yell at the boy, rather she apologizes to the girl and her mother. She then grabs a toy and tells her son, “Hey, why don't we play a game. Let's go down the slide.” Hearing that his mother wants to play a game with him, the boy gets very excited and quickly goes up the stairs of the slide. “Go quickly, go quick!” the mother says, and proceeds to push him with the toy she was holding. The mother pushes him a bit too hard, and makes him slide down fast and fall on the foam board carpeted at the bottom of the slide; the boy then gets very upset. Noticing this, his mother walks up to him and says, “Look, isn't it dangerous to get pushed like this? When you push other children just like I pushed you, they will also be very upset, won't they?”, the boy then nods in agreement. What do you think will happen afterwards? From now on, the boy will most likely wait until the other children have reached the bottom of the slide before sliding down after.

Taa-daa! Today we are celebrating our first special guest on the podcast, the wonderful Dr. Lawrence J. Cohen, psychologist and the author of Playful Parenting, The Opposite of Worry and co-author of The Art of Roughhousing. Talking Play Talk on this episode turns to two of Larry's favorites styles of play  - aggressive and risky play. If you've ever seen your child thrash a toy to pieces, order you locked in jail or speed down a steep slope on a skateboard you are probably aware of these play types and the stress they can cause us, as parents! Is our child too aggressive? Will they grow up aggressive? Shouldn't we be learning something? What if they get hurt? The Play is a Symbol When we can see these ways of playing as symbols of what's affecting a child, we can embrace them, because, as Larry says, when a child is laughing and engaged in aggressive play, we can be sure deep work is happening. But these can be the trickier bits of play to navigate. Larry helps us address the issues that come up when our children play aggressive or risky. What can we do with own fears when our children play aggressively? Why we should be joining our children in play How we can trust our children with their own risk management How we can stop saying "be careful," and start reflecting and wondering around play (or taking risks ourselves!) Evaluating when you need to step in The episode ends with some ideas of games to try with your children since play, at its heart, is all about connection.

This podcast is dedicated towards helping the busy parent who has an anxious child. Each episode is five minutes in length and focuses on one aspect of parenting an anxious child. Obviously, in five minutes I can't be comprehensive, but hopefully I can provide with some tips and pointers and get you started in the right direction. In the podcasts that follow I will be talking specific strategies you can use with your child. You will about the "Worry Motel" and "Two part sentences" and other techniques. I will also discuss specific conditions such as Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, Selective Mutism, and Aspergers and many other topics. And of course nighttime is a favorite time for anxiety to show up and so I will be talking about what you can with those fears.   For those of you that have time to dig deeper into this topic here are my favorite books on the topics. I will explain in a future podcast what I like about each book.
