How to Encourage Independent Play with Myriam Sandler [Episode 361]


Listen Later

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

This conversation will help you rethink what independent play really looks like and give you simple, doable ways to create a home where it happens naturally.
