003 Reducing Frustration through understanding Play Schemas
Manage episode 451172184 series 3614094
Ever wonder why your toddler insists on throwing toys, spinning in circles, or hiding your kitchen towels? Believe it or not, there’s a method to the madness—it’s called play schemas. These are natural, repeated behaviours that children use to explore and understand their world. In this episode of Demystifying Child’s Play, we’re uncovering how recognising these play patterns can revolutionise your parenting.
🎯 What You’ll Learn:
- What play schemas are and why they’re key to your child’s development.
- How understanding these behaviours can reduce frustration and bring more joy to your home.
- Real-life examples of parents transforming chaos into connection and creativity.
- Practical tips for supporting your child’s schemas and making playtime a collaborative, fun experience.
Join me as I share insights, stories, and actionable strategies to help you lean into your child’s natural tendencies instead of fighting against them. From the trajectory schema (hello, flying food!) to the enveloping schema (goodbye, tea towels!), you’ll discover how to turn everyday challenges into opportunities for learning and bonding.
