0:00.0	Hi, this is Janet Landsbury. Welcome to UnRuffled. Today, instead of responding to an individual
0:10.4	question, I'm going to offer some recommendations that I have for a composite of a lot of
0:17.7	different questions that I receive in regard to different things that happen on the playground.
0:24.3	When we go to the playground with our child, ways that they might behave, ways that other
0:28.6	children are behaving and we want to support our child. So these are different types of issues
0:34.0	children have that parents commonly ask me about. So I'm going to be covering some of the basics.
0:41.2	Obviously not able to get into every nuance as I'd like to, but as much as I can in the 25 minutes
0:48.4	or so that this podcast will last.
0:50.0	Okay, so I want to start with my basic general advice. This is based on the ride training that I

1:40.7	playground with your child, have a place that you will park yourself and stay there as much as
1:48.3	possible unless you need to intervene. And I'm going to talk all about the different ways and
1:53.2	different reasons to intervene. Oftentimes parents will go around the playground next to their child
1:59.6	and reason I don't recommend that is while we think we're just being supportive to them and
2:06.4	helpful to maybe what they want. Let's say they're asking us to come around with them. They're
2:11.0	holding our hand trying to pull us over to the different areas of the playground or to where the
2:16.0	different children are. By going along with that, we are giving our child the message that we agree
