Uncomfy Play: play that freaks adults out but lets kids thrive
A 2-hour training on the truly uncomfortable side of childhood play. Why weapon play, rough-and-tumble, pretend funerals, smashing and rebuilding, and all the things that freak us adults out actually fuel developmental gold.
The five types of play grown-ups shut down.
Risky play
Rough and tumble
Weapon and power play
Death play
(yes, pretend funerals)
Destructive play
(smashing and rebuilding)
