It's so great to meet you back here for another episode. This is episode 298 and I am

unbelievably excited to talk about something that I get asked often and I know so many people

are struggling with. This is one of those things that for a lot of moms, whether you are full-time stay-at-home mom,

if you part-time stay-at-home mom, if you are a nine-to-five working mom, but you have your

kid home with you in the evenings and the weekends, like it doesn't matter what the scenario is.

We all want our kids to be able to play independently

and unfortunately because of the way that the world has found a way to design our children

unintentionally to be extremely distractible. It makes it really, really hard for a lot of reasons, which we'll

talk about in today's episode for our kids to be able to play independently. And what this

really means is that we've got to start being incredibly intentional and strategic about what we

are doing with our children's time, not only our time. And so today I'm going to give you

the three things that I have always used in order to help my children play independently and

still use to this day, have used with them since day one. There's a huge influence on what I do

from the Montessori education and world and philosophy that I have been a huge fan of and have

had my children a part of since they were born really and still do have them a part of. And I'm

really excited to share this information and a little bit of what I know to be incredibly

helpful when it comes to getting your kids to play independently

without using screens so that you can have some focused time to work even when they are home.

And so are you.

All right.

Grab that pen and paper.

We are going to dive in to today's episode.
