Your play piece for today is…

Know the difference!

What I see across multiple pages who ‘claim’ they embrace play as an approach to learning, are simply just setting up ‘adult led learning’.

There is an absolute place for this type of set up for sure but please don’t call it play!

Play is freely chosen, intrinsically motivated and highly engaging. It’s free from learning intentions and success criteria. It’s free from comments like ‘do it this way’ or ‘you can’t do that’.

If you’re new to play, learn the difference.

When you see an ‘activity’ set up, a beautifully designed tuff tray is a perfect example, remind yourself that it is adult directed and can never be classed as ‘play’

It’s a real bug bear of mine 🤣🙄

We get it. Doing more for our children feels like love, and it comes from a good place. We want to give, support, help, and create the best experience possible for them.

But this is where it gets uncomfortable, because more is not always better. When we constantly do for them, provide things they don’t actually need, entertain them, or step in to remove every bit of struggle, it can start to fill our own cup more than theirs. It can look like support, but it often replaces the very experiences that build real growth.

Children build competency, confidence, patience, gratitude, regulation, decision-making, and autonomy by doing, feeling, waiting, trying, and figuring things out. When we rush in, redirect, or distract, we take those opportunities away, and it also sends a quieter message that’s easy to miss. It shows them that we can’t sit still, we can’t tolerate discomfort, and that what’s happening right now isn’t enough.

A lot of this comes from a place many parents carry, which is the feeling that we aren’t doing enough. Without realizing it, that pressure gets passed onto our children and begins to get in the way of what they actually need most. When we keep adding more, we end up taking away the very things that support their development.

This is where the shift happens. Children need you to step back and do less, not because they need less of you, but because they need more space to do for themselves. They need less entertaining, less interrupting, less fixing, and less filling of every moment, so there is room for what actually matters.

What they need is your presence in a real and undivided way, not being side by side while both distracted or constantly moving to the next thing. They need connection through conversations at the dinner table, a slow walk outside, and time that isn’t rushed or overly structured. They need long stretches of unstructured, child-led play, along with space to feel the full range of emotions without being pulled out of it simply because it is uncomfortable to witness.

Doing less can feel like you’re not doing enough, but in many ways, it is exactly what they need most.

I mostly hang with kids, but when I do teach adults I prefer to do it in a 100+ degree room. 🔥🔥 Hot Yoga 1620 ❤️✨
