We Don't Like Playing With Our Kids: Here's Why

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we cover:What about playing makes us so uncomfortable: when you’re drained, and in perpetual “mom mode,” it’s hard to flip a switch into being playful. How to tap into play that feels good for both you AND your kids and ditch the guilt, too.Why the Montessori method not only gives us permission not to play, but shows us why it’s better to teach our kids not to rely on us for entertainment. What it looks like on the “other side of play” as our kids get older: when the “playing field” is leveled, it’s more fun, more genuine, and more natural.WHERE TO FIND US NOWConnect with Stacey🎧 The Next Phase Podcast —  on Apple & Spotify 📸 Instagram: @stacehutsonConnect with Steph🎧 The Peri-Normal Podcaston Apple and Spotify✍️ The Reclamation Eraon Substack📝 MidCircle— a writing community for midlife women📸 Instagram: @stephsprenger
