Why is play so crucial, and what do our kids miss out when play is not prioritized? Is it important for us, as adults too? Georgie Wisen-Vincent, LMFT, RPT-S, ECMHS is a nationally recognized play therapy expert and co-author (with Dr. Tina Payne Bryson) of the new book -- THE WAY OF PLAY, and she joins me today to tackle these questions and more. 

In this episode: 

• How to engage your kids in play, in a way that promotes connection and flow 
• What kids learn from play, and how we can use play to teach them important life skills like empathy, boundaries, and managing conflict 
• How play can be important for adults (and a healthy little rant from me about inner child healing) 
• What skills and development kids miss when play isn’t available to them
