Ep 240: Play First: Why Fun Is One of the Best Parenting Tools We Have w/ Dr. Kim Van Dusen
Q: Can you share a quick technique for handling a meltdown playfully?
Offer a short, five-minute timer with a fun activity, allowing the child to vent during that period and then transition to the next task with a light, game-like approach.
Ep 240: Play First: Why Fun Is One of the Best Parenting Tools We Have w/ Dr. Kim Van Dusen
Q: What are some easy ways to introduce play into everyday tasks like chores or medical exams?
Use playful framing, incorporate pretend elements (like a medical kit during an exam or a basketball game to collect toys), and keep it brief—just a few minutes can shift the dynamic.
Ep 240: Play First: Why Fun Is One of the Best Parenting Tools We Have w/ Dr. Kim Van Dusen
Q: Why is play such a powerful tool for connecting with kids?
Play taps into children's language and emotions, builds trust and safety, and makes routines easier by aligning with how kids naturally learn and engage, which leads to better cooperation.
Ep 239: Divorce Through a Child's Eyes: What Parents Need to Know with Erica Komisar
Q: Why is the zero-to-three period so critical in the context of divorce?
She emphasizes that this is when attachment security is formed; disrupting that bond can have long-lasting effects on a child's sense of safety and trust, making later coping more difficult.
Ep 239: Divorce Through a Child's Eyes: What Parents Need to Know with Erica Komisar
Q: So my first question to you is, what inspired you to write this book?
Erica explains she wanted to write to prevent problems, not just fix them, drawing from extensive clinical experience with families undergoing separation and divorce.
