Right.
So families can get more of these needs met just by practicing a simple strategy in play, which is so it's so amazing to think about play being like a training ground.
for like really eventually adult level skills that we need in life.
How much better would we all be if we could all stay calm enough or regulated enough to share with our partner or with our coworker or with somebody who's really, really upset us?
Like I wish I could just not flip my lid with that person and be able to convey to them exactly how they made me feel or what I want to happen.
And we can practice with our kids when they're really, really little, but it's never too late as they get older in their sibling relationships.
We can come in when we hear them fighting and say, Okay, it looked like you wanted to
just have your bedroom to yourself right now, but you came in and you wanted to borrow the monster truck.
What are we gonna do about this?
So thinking out loud is not just a play skill, it's a it's a parenting skill too.
Yeah, I would say give yourself a little bit of a challenge to just try as as I was just talking about thinking out loud.
Maybe you don't even need to do anything different when you play with your kid, but just set aside five minutes, set a timer.
And be with them and see if you start noticing after you've listened to Debbie and I talking about this for a little while.
Just see if you start noticing anything new emerging in the way that your kid is playing.
See if you notice the way that their mind works and the way that they're setting up a place that could be rife with ways that we could teach new skills or just being with them.
We called the book The Way of Play.
Because it's not like a sort of manual that you have to follow to the letter, because there's no such thing as a perfect parent who's always going to get it right with whether you're playing with your kid or you're parenting or you're responding to a meltdown or whatever it is.
The way of play sort of becomes a way that pervades your way of being with your child.
It's a way that we show up for our kids in a relationship that's going to last them.
Them their whole life.
