Ep. 18 - Unlocking Growth: The Transformative Benefits of Unstructured Play for Your Child

Hey Mama—

In this episode of Nature to Nurture, we’re talking about the magic that happens when we let our kids lead their own play—especially outdoors. Unstructured play is so much more than fun; it’s a way for our children to build confidence, creativity, and resilience in a world that’s often so planned out for them.

We’ll dig into why giving our kids space to explore on their own can be so empowering. I’ll share a sweet story about my son, who recently got creative with a marshmallow skewer and snorkel gear to go ‘spearfishing’—a moment of pure joy that I could never have planned for him. And another example from our family pumpkin carving party, where the kids came up with an unforgettable game of glow-in-the-dark capture the flag all on their own. These are the kinds of moments that unstructured play gifts to us as parents, allowing us to see our kids’ minds at work in the most amazing ways.

If you’re looking to bring more connection and freedom into your parenting, I’d love for you to join us for Gratitude and Grounding for the Holidays on November 23 at 7:30 pm MST. It’ll be a space to connect, center ourselves, and set peaceful intentions for the holidays. You can register at bit.ly/GratitudeandGrounding.

Let’s keep creating more meaningful connections with our kids, and more moments of joy in the great outdoors.

With love, Tiffany
