Please note we had a sound glitch in some of this podcast  as always do reach out with any questions. 

In these podcasts we look at the nine different types of play that Dr Solter has identified. We address three distinctive types of play in each episode.  The play is non-directed and child-centred which gives ample opportunity for the child to feel seen and heard. Play is not just something to ‘fill in the gaps’ or while away a rainy afternoon but a key opportunity to build laughter and connection. Here we look at non-directive child-centred play, symbolic play and contingency play which is a type of play where we follow the ‘commands’ and prompts. Contingency play in particular is a great stress reliever and if the child is laughing you have struck gold. Keep at it as they will build so much trust and confidence and release residual feelings of anxiety and  powerlessness.

Ep. 30 Embodying play part 1

In part two we continue to hear how India and her team manage more than one child and their feelings all at once. India offers specific games and approaches that ensure all the children are acknowledged and held as  needed.  Her profound stories point to the wisdom of children and notably her own daughter’s  capacity to be sensitive and attuned to the needs of others.  And so we all shout what about sibling rivalry? Yes it happens at times in most households.  India’s calm trust of the principles of Aware Parenting gives her the capacity to offer consent based solutions to get to the root of rivalry dynamics.  So inspired and grateful for these conversations.
