Independent Play 101: Leveraging The Power of Play to Protect Their Childhood + Your Sanity
Welcome to Village Wholehearted.
We're glad you took a gamble and clicked our random ad on the internet. Good on you for still having trust and faith and curiosity. Love that.
Our team isn't (quite) psychic, but since you're here we're willing to bet we know two things about you:
- You're a really rad, devoted parent who cares deeply about their little ones and wants to understand and support them on every level. You love those kids, and you love them hard. You want every tool and perspective in your tool kit so you can be the very best parent.
- You are tired. Like to the bone, never-thought-a-human-being-could-be-this-tired tired. You're tired of cooking. You're tired of cleaning. And while you hate to admit, and keep it in the deep dark vault of your heart, you are very tired of playing with your kid all of the time.
- You need more space for yourself. You know you need more time for yourself. Time to just be. Time to feel human. Time to do something just for you. Time for a nap. But you already are feeling like you have so little time for your kid and feel guilty taking time for yourself and not playing with them.
If those are true, even if we're batting 500, you're in the right place and the right time because we've got the workshop just for you: Independent Play: Learn To Use Playtime So Both You & Your Child Can Feel Human Again
Take this one if you want to learn...
- What your child is doing when they’re playing and how to spot and support different developmental milestones
- Why is independent play important for both parents and children
- Different types of independent play and which offer the most bang for your buck
- Why solely relying on play for connection sets you up for failure long term
- How to identify the infrequent times when children need to play with you emotionally vs. processing
- Learn how to connect with your child and develop and even deeper bond outside of play
- Three critical steps for helping kids transition into independent play
We will also make a strategic plan to help you take this knowledge and put it into action. You’ll also receive:
- A Checklist for Creating An Independent Play Space
- A Toy Selection
- A Toy Rotation Cheat Sheet
- A Connection Rituals Guide
- aaaaaandd.....
The first five folks to register will get a free 1:1 session with me to help personalize their plans and troubleshoot their family's specific needs.
You'll walk away with a much deeper understanding of play and how to cultivate it in your home so you can take some time for you while giving your child the biggest gift possible.
It's going to be a great time.
This is a pay-what-you-can-workshop. Our suggested offering is $15 AND we trust you to do what is accessible to your family in this moment.
And of course, the replay is available for those who sign up.
