Look forward to playtime.

We moms want to do everything we can to support our little one's development.

But, let's be honest: Doing the same activities over and over again is ... well, it's boring.

(Yep, I just said that out loud.)

But holy-moly, the "fun" ideas on Instagram and Pinterest require so much time, energy, and expense, don't they?

So if you're like a lot of moms, you just keep doing what you've been doing ... which leaves you worried you're not doing enough.

I've been there too, and I'm here to help.

Play builds brains.

Throughout their first few years of life, your child's brain forms more than one million neural connections every second! 

While many factors influence that development, your regular interactions with them have the most significant impact: singing, talking, responding and reading.

Playing with your child helps them:

  • Build their vocabulary and become good listeners
  • Strengthen their body and hone fine-motor skills
  • Learn to take turns and develop empathy
  • Think creatively and grow their imagination

Feel more at ease as a parent.

 

When my kids were younger, I put a ton of pressure on myself to do everything—and to do it all "right."

We moms know that's impossible. But we try anyway, don't we? 

These days, I strive for good enough, not perfect. And that mindset has helped me feel so much more at ease as a parent.

I created the resources at Thriving Toddler because I want that for you, too!
