What does the course look like?
This course is broken up into four major sections, and within each section there are modules and sub modules. They vary in length, some being only a couple minutes long, and some being longer than that. I did this purposefully so that you could do this course at your own pace. You can watch the whole thing at once, or complete a couple of submodules at a time.
Section one is "The Basics". We’re really diving into WHY this matters, so that you can take your kid’s play seriously and be confident in why it’s so important. We’ll be talking about what play is, why it’s seemingly so hard these days, concerns about speech, how to meaningfully connect with our kids, and more.
Section two is "Setup". We’ll talk about the different types of toys, how to display them (and easily rotate them!), and where play should ideally be happening in your home.
Section three and four are "Build It Naturally" and "Be Intentional". These are the actionable items - these sections really focus on what to do… and what not to do. I'll walk you through ways of shifting your own thinking that is going to make a huge difference in their play. We'll also talk about how you can be intentional in fostering your child’s independent play skills, along with how to really start this in your home. These last two sections are filled with really great actionable steps, phrases you can use, and so much more.
This is an online course, delivered in video format. The full course is just over two hours long. This course is intended as advice only.
