5: We Don’t Create Play, We Create the Conditions for It (with Robyn Monro Miller)
Play isn’t something we control - but the conditions for it? That’s on us.
In this episode of The Bold Blueprint, Barbi and Jamie sit down with Robyn Monro Miller AM, CEO of Play Australia and President of the International Play Association, to talk about how educators and leaders can better protect children’s and young people’s right to play.
We explore:
- The shift from creating play to creating conditions
- Why “stopping, pausing, and getting to their level” is a leadership practice
- The connection between neuroscience, emotional safety, and play
- The role of adult energy and rhythm in how children experience freedom
- How to talk with parents about play (even when they’re stressed)
- Practical insights for risk benefit balancing and sensory rich environments
This one’s packed with practical, real world leadership insights - and the reminder that our presence matters more than our plans.
