Playful Parenting Podcast
Playful Parenting is the newest season of Play Time made for those who are looking to parent in a different way than they were parented and who could use some support in figuring out what that looks like. Season 1 of this podcast is called 'Play Time' and while it has parenting content, many of the episodes are also about Child-Centered Play Therapy and other topics related to the mental health of children. Season 2 of the podcast is dedicated exclusively to exploring parenting. Andrew is a father and play therapist who lives in Asheville, North Carolina who is likely currently stewing over how to create a more child respectful world.

As adults, we encourage children to have relationships with different magical beings. On this episode, we dive into Santa, and explore what children might learn through our current conception of Santa Claus, as well as what other ways of connecting to children in the magical world they exist in could look like to harness the full benefits and wonder of co-existing with children in a magical space.
