How to be a playful parent when the world is falling apart
Things are on fire. Often literally. There are hurting people hurting people all over the world. You're exhausted, you have so much going on. And yet - your kids still need you to play.
How do you play when it feels like the world is falling apart? Great question - and one I get asked frequently. The short answer is don't be fake. There are still ways to play even if you can't fake cheerfulness. Great news - it's good for your kids, and for you too.
