Q&A: Is there a right and wrong way to encourage independent play?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

3:23 - The developmental appropriateness of independent play - it might not last as long as our culture might lead you to believe it should.

4:25 - To foster independence, you might have to first allow your child to be dependent on you. (And the psychology of how and why this actually works!)

7:05 - The difference between independent play versus "why can't they play quietly so I can take a phone call?"

10:12 - In our culture, we're often taught that we should always be engaging, stimulating, and entertaining our kids to help them reach their full potential.

11:40 - When we say "play" what we really mean is exploration and engagement and by understanding this, it shifts what we think our role is in this interaction.

12:30 - How to foster independent play with older kids if you didn't start building this skill from a young age.
