Many of my current listeners may have missed this earlier episode with guest Sarah Therese—and even if you’ve heard it before, it’s definitely worth a re-listen, especially if you're parenting a child who struggles with independent play.

In this thoughtful conversation, we dive into the importance of solo play in childhood, how to support it in age-appropriate ways, and whether there’s such a thing as too much independence. Sarah also offers practical tips for mamas whose kids just aren’t getting the hang of it yet. It might take some trial and error, but the growth and freedom that come with independent play are well worth the effort!
