It's something that if you pay attention, what we pay attention to also shapes our kids' brains and minds as well.
So the more we can do that, whether we're grabbing little moments when we're in the midst of our everyday experiences with our kids, or when they're grabbing us to play with them, I think it gives us more opportunity.
To get some of these brainwise benefits that everybody's talking about in the research, but we don't really know how to implement as parents all the time.
Yeah, yeah.
Parents have been asking us how much time should I set aside to do this, especially if I don't really like to play with my kid or I find it repetitive or I don't really know how to join sometimes without taking over a lot of what's within us and the way our brains have developed over time is to be the executive functioners for our kids, which is great in so many situations.
But in play, it can really trip us up because we think play.
should go in a particular way and we try and take over and kind of control or maybe teach things explicitly.
when maybe our better thought is to pull ourselves back a little bit and become more of a like an active observer and a participant where our kid wants us to be and let ourselves be kind of moved around a little bit by them.
They're orchestrating the scene, they're setting up a particular scenario.
That they may explore in order to build a new skill right then.
And I want to kind of get out of the way and allow that to happen a little bit more.
So us teaching these seven strategies is just in an effort to sort of say, if you see this going on in your kids' play, if they say, Hey, come over, you got to see this, and you see little opportunities, take them.
It may take 10 seconds, you may stay longer, you may stay for five.
Five minutes.
Tina was saying the other day, set aside 15 minutes after school.
You've been away from each other all day, or they're coming back from a sleepover or something like that.
Play can be a great way to reconnect after you've been apart from each other.
And I love that advice.
You can decide how much you want to do, little dips in and out, or do you want to set aside the time to give your kids some quality time and top up that connection that they want with you?
Yeah, absolutely.
