“Maybe the reason why people think there’s a crucial difference between play and being a child and adulthood is this idea of stakes...the stakes are so high [etc]...but once the stakes are gone you really see people flourish...once we take away the weightiness of things.”
In this episode we’re joined by dad, teacher, human Ben Asiedu and mum, intuitive therapist & spiritual life coach Danielle Byars as we talk play and parenting. Are they mutually exclusive? How do you find harmony? Can we let go of gender when it comes to play?
