Is play the "missing piece" in your parenting toolkit? When our kids have big meltdowns or struggle with anxiety, our first instinct is often to correct the behavior. But what if the fastest path to calm was actually through play? I sat down with Georgie Wisen-Vincent @georgiewisenvincent , co-author of The Way of Play with Tina Payne Bryson @tinapaynebryson , to explore how simple, everyday moments of play act as a "reset button" for a child’s nervous system. In this episode, we explore: Presence over Performance: Why 5 minutes of focused connection beats an hour of distracted play. Curiosity over Correction: How shifting our language can stop a spiral before it starts. Rehearsing Bravery: How children use toys to process scary experiences and build emotional strength. The Power of Relationship: Why regulation happens in relationship, not in isolation. Whether you have a toddler or a teenager, playful connection is the foundation of a secure attachment. 🎧 Catch the full conversation with Georgie Wisen-Vincent at the link in my bio! #howtotalktokids #parentingpodcast #mindfulparenting #thewayofplay #résilience
