Reigniting Playfulness and the Power of "Yes" with our Kids with Kristi Hayes

Join us in this episode as we rediscover the transformative power of play and the importance of saying "yes" to playing with our kids. In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to overlook the simple joy of play and its profound impact on our relationships.

Firstly, let's clarify that we're not advocating for constant entertainment of our kids. Boredom is actually a great thing as it fosters their imagination and creativity. However, in this episode, we focus on reigniting the playfulness within ourselves and embracing those moments when our children invite us to join in their play.

We explore the significance of creating moments that foster connectedness and value in our relationships with our kids. Whether it's shooting hoops together or jumping on the trampoline, these playful activities serve as opportunities to strengthen the parent-child bond and cultivate deeper connections.

Furthermore, we reflect on the importance of nurturing our own playful spirits. As adults, we often forget the joy and wonder that come with engaging in playful activities. By saying "yes" to our kids' invitations to play, we not only create cherished memories but also experience the profound joy and fulfillment that can only be found in being fully present in those moments.
