About this episode
Ever feel like you kids' toys are taking over, yet no one's actually playing with them? In this week's episode, I sit down with Myriam Sandler - creator of the popular MotherCould community and author of Playful By Design - to unpack the real reasons independent play feels so elusive…and what actually works. From play hotspots to boredom breakthroughs, you'll walk away with practical, judgement-free strategies to help your kids play more (and fight less), without turning your home into a Pinterest project. We discuss: ? The real reason your kids might not be playing with their toys (even when the bins are overflowing) ? Why boredom isn't a problem - it's a launchpad for self-led play ? The hidden mindset trap that keeps moms stuck as entertainers - and how to shift out of it ? How to move from managing stuff to designing and environment that works with your kids, not against them
