Children grow in their own time and parenting is the quiet lesson of growing with them. 🤍

A regulated parent is a powerful teacher.
Not perfect. Just present. 💛

Our kids are always watching. How we rest, how we speak to ourselves, how we forgive our mistakes. Choosing self-love is choosing to teach them they’re worthy too. ❤️

If parenting feels slow right now, you’re not behind. Growth takes time — for parents and children alike. 🤍

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. showed us that even in the face of discrimination and intimidation, we can’t stop moving toward a more just and equitable future. Real change takes courage, persistence, and each of us choosing to speak up, stand firm, and keep building on his legacy.

If things feel harder right now, that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re parenting in winter.

Earlier bedtimes, fewer commitments, simpler days - boundaries aren’t restrictive, they’re supportive. 🤗

Mistakes don’t break connection, avoiding repair does. Coming back builds trust and resilience. 🤗

Why Playful Wisdom?

Over and over again the Power of Play is being demonstrated to be the key to healthy kids and adults. To help with this Cary Hamilton created Playful Wisdom: a Play-based Parenting Model to encourage parents to develop healthy families by being in Relationship Playfully with their children. The idea for Playful Wisdom arose out of my frustration as a skilled family therapist and play therapist. I work daily with children and families in distress and I became disillusioned with the “medical model” approach to children’s emotional and behavioral health. Why did parents gain access to the education, training, and support that professionals like me offer only after their child had a “mental health concern”? I heard parents’ feedback: If only I had known these things years ago… we might not need to be here. Everything in the “medical model” seemed backward.
