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.

People get divorced all the time, and families separate all the time. These events are often discussed as being 'traumatic' in the life of a child, which can be the case, but is it always? Is it appropriate to put divorce in the same category as child abuse or other traumatic events? Play Time's stance is a firm 'no'. Give it a listen if you're curious why.
