There may just be a method to the madness after all!Our toddlers are constantly learning about the world around them. And the main way in which they learn is through play and play schemas.From throwing things and ripping pages out of books to tossing all their toys out of the bin and lining their cars up in a certain way, our toddlers are naturally moving through phases that help them better understand how the world works.Though it can be frustrating for us as parents, our children aren't just trying to annoy us but are, in fact, simply learning.Join Heather and Ruth in this mind-blowing episode where the method behind the madness is finally revealed and play schemas are explained!If your toddler has a knack for throwing, tearing, ripping, dropping, or climbing, then this is one episode you won't want to miss!About Ruth: Ruth Vercoe is a teacher-turned-mum on a mission to demystify child's play through understanding play schemas. If you've ever found yourself asking, “Why is my child doing that?”—whether it's throwing soft toys, hiding stones around the house, or lining up crayons—you're certainly not alone.It wasn't until Ruth was in the thick of parenting that she realized she had entered this journey with an unfair advantage. Her unique edge was a deep understanding of play schemas—how they show up in young children and how to work with them, rather than against them. Now, she's passionate about helping other parents gain that same insight.Ruth comes to this first and foremost as a wife and mum to two amazing young boys. She brings over 15 years of experience working with children, with the majority of her teaching career focused on junior-aged students. A lifelong learner, Ruth holds a Bachelor of Education, a postgraduate diploma in Special Education, a Certificate in Digital and Online Learning, and a Master's in Education—not to mention a deep love of the outdoors.Connect with Ruth on Instagram @Play_Schemas; on her website, playschemas.com; or on her podcast "Demystifying Child's Play"!------------------------------------------------------Ready to get your toddler to listen in 2 seconds?Heather has her M.Ed, and a proud Twin Mama of busy toddlers.

#169 – If you have ever found yourself thinking, “why does essay writing feel so hard?” you are not alone. In this episode, I share 5 reasons why essays often feel overwhelming, confusing or frustrating—and what you can do about each one. We will explore why you were never properly taught how to write essays, why traditional study methods often make things harder, and why high-stakes assignments leave no room for practice. You will also hear why outdated frameworks like PEEL are not helping you and how you might be working incredibly hard but not always in the most effective way. If essay writing feels like a slog, there is nothing wrong with you—you just need better support, clearer methods, and more strategic tools. I will also introduce you to my brand-new training, The Essay Fix, which is open for enrolment now.

This week on Typology, I sat down with my dear friend, therapist and spiritual director, Michael Cusick for a raw, wise, and deeply compassionate conversation about the connection between attachments and our path to healing.
