THE POWER OF PLAY

Play is more than just a way to pass the time- it’s how kids learn, connect, and thrive. But for many parents, knowing how to “play right” with their kids can feel confusing, exhausting, or even a little overwhelming.

In this episode, I sit down with Jill Lerman, a play and parenting coach, early childhood educator, and mom, to explore the true power of play and why it doesn’t need to be Pinterest-perfect to be effective.

We unpack the misconceptions around play, how to shift from being your child’s entertainer to becoming their facilitator, and why independent play is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child (and yourself). Jill also shares how play builds emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, creativity, and real-world problem-solving skills.

From playroom setups to screen time detox strategies, this episode is packed with practical, empowering tips to help you bring more joy and ease into your parenting through the power of play.
