My Kids Won’t Play (And I’m a Toy Expert!)


Listen Later

Ever stared at your child's overflowing toy collection while they complain there's "nothing to play with"? You're not alone. As a professional toy expert who reviews and recommends toys for a living, I faced the most humbling parenting moment when my own children would barely glance at their toys before getting bored.

This disconnect between expertise and reality sent me on a journey that transformed not just our playroom, but my entire approach to play. What I discovered wasn't about finding the perfect toy—it was about creating the perfect environment for play to flourish. Drawing from my background in project management, design, and even healthcare policy, I developed strategies that finally sparked genuine engagement and independent play in my home.

The Playroom Chronicles podcast is born from this revelation. We won't chase trendy toy unboxings or fleeting fads. Instead, we'll explore what happens long after the packaging is gone. Expect practical, immediately actionable strategies like turning 50 random Lego pieces into an imagination-igniting challenge or transforming forgotten animal figurines into storytelling adventures with a simple prompt. These approaches don't require buying more—they maximize what you already have.

Subscribe now to join me in reclaiming our homes from toy chaos, inspiring truly independent play, and bringing back the simplicity and joy that play should provide. Together, we'll think outside the toy box and transform frustration into inspiration—one playful strategy at a time.
