Drawing from her new book The Joyful Child, Kira Willey joins Paula Felps to explore how parents can bring more ease and connection into daily family life without adding anything extra to an already full plate.
Key takeaways:
- Joyful transitions: Stressful daily shifts can be reframed as cooperative moments by integrating play into the family routine.
- Movement and music: Children often thrive when structure is supported by imaginative play and rhythm rather than rigid instructions.
- Nervous system regulation: Simple one-minute practices can effectively calm both a child’s and a parent’s stress response simultaneously.
