Summary

What if play isn’t just for fun… but one of the most powerful tools you have for connecting with your child and shaping their emotional world?


In this eye-opening episode, I’m joined by child and family therapist Georgie Wisen-Vincent, who’s here to walk us through the critical role of play in building trust, confidence, and lifelong resilience in our little ones.


Press play to discover: why play is crucial for your child’s emotional and psychological development, how to become a more intentional partner during playtime, how to help kids process big feelings (even the ones they can’t express), how to use play to navigate tricky behaviors, and why stepping into your child’s inner world can be healing (for both of you!).


If you’re a parent, you want to better understand the kids in your life, or you’re simply craving more playfulness in your day to day, then press play now… this one’s for you.
