So we think of play as a noun, but we want to back up and think of it more as the verb, like the

actions our child is doing. Is it more, you know, do they like to follow rules? Maybe they are really

into board games and puzzles. Maybe they're into rough and tumble play. And do you constantly see your

child being more physical? Are they, are they throwing things? If they're throwing things,

they need,

that's a play urge, they call that, right? So it's a play urge. So we can think about these behaviors

we see our children doing and then think about how it could relate to a play prompt or a play

activity or a play opportunity. And once we start really taking a step back and looking what our child is doing,

we can offer them more opportunities to do that rather than telling them to stop doing it.

Even in terms of regulating and, you know, jumping on the couch cushions, okay, my child

really likes to jump. How can I offer opportunities to jump that may also be okay with me in my,

in my parenting?

Welcome to the motherhood podcast, the show for ambitious women who also happen to be raising

kids. I'm your host, Michelle Grosser. I'm a certified master life coach, attorney,

Each week, I'm going to coach you to do the work that builds an exceptional life.

We'll talk all things motherhood, mindset, and emotional well-being so that you can create a life designed by faith over fear.

It's time to break through whatever's holding you back.
