368: Play Hotspots, Not Playrooms: How to Reclaim Your Sanity While Kids Have Fun with Myriam Sandler

from No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Parenting Tips, & Self Care for Moms · host JoAnn Crohn | Parenting Coach & Mom Guilt Support

Is your house starting to look more like a toy store exploded than an actual home? 🙃 Are you dreaming of drinking your coffee while it’s still hot without being asked to play kitchen for the 47th time today? SAME. In this episode, we’re talking all things independent play for children with Myriam Sandler, creator of Mother Could, and author of the new book, Playful by Design. Spoiler: she doesn’t play with her kids all day—she just designs spaces that invite play (and gives moms their sanity back). You’ll learn how to create “play hotspots” around your home (yes, even in the bathroom), why “access and visuals” are game changers, and how to stop feeling guilty for not being your kid’s full-time entertainment director. If you're ready to reclaim your home and your peace, this episode is your lifeline. Tune in now—your coffee (and your nervous system) will thank you. ☕🧘‍♀️ Resources We Shared: Grab Myriam’s new book today!
