There are lots of ways to play with your children, and the best ideas come from just watching them. But to get you started, here are a few playful things you can do with your children: - Skip instead of walking. - Sing a silly song. - Dance your way to dinner. - Pretend you are a train and let your kids climb aboard onto your back as you move to the station. - Play wrestle. - Tell stories. - Use puppets or finger puppets. - Play peek-a-boo, even when your kids are a little older. Playing gets us out of our beta brainwave state -- a go, go, go, do, do, do state that takes us out of connection with others -- and into alpha, a more relaxed brain wave state. And when we can relax a bit more into our own versions of play, we have more emotional space for our children. -Rebecca Thompson, MS, Nurturing Connection
