149: How to Build Kid's Resilience with Structured Play w/ Dr. Deborah Gilboa
We are now halfway through our 30 Days of Play Challenge. For the past few weeks, we've talked about unstructured, independent play and its wonderful advantages it has for kids. Today, I want to give you a full well-rounded picture of how play can help support your kids, and how you can harness the power of a specific type of play, "structured play" (think games with rules someone else made up), to encourage 4 skills that are key to building resilience.
To help me in this conversation, I have brought in Dr. G (Deborah Gilboa, MD). She is a board-certified family physician and Resilience Expert. She works with families and businesses to improve resilience and strengthen mental health. She's currently working with ThinkFun, a games company, and the larger toys and games industry to strengthen kids' mental, emotional and social health through play.
To connect with Dr. G, follow her on Instagram @askdoctorg and visit her website www.meshhelps.org.
