If you slow down during play, you’ll see patterns. Not in what toys they pick In how their body uses space. Do they: - collapse into the floor quickly? - avoid rotation? - move fast but without control? - repeat the same pattern over and over? - shift positions easily? Play shows us: - endurance - balance - organization - problem solving - regulation Without a single worksheet. This is why structured “do this activity 10 times” advice misses the point. *Play isn’t homework.* It’s information. And most of it is visible long before milestones change.

I used to think having a “stable job” meant I was doing life right.But deep down, I was stressed, tired, and stuck living paycheck to paycheck. Every day felt the same. Work. Commute. Repeat. One day I asked myself —“If nothing changes, will I be happy in 5 years?” That’s when I decided to take a risk on myself and start a dropshipping business. It wasn’t easy. I messed up a lot. I wanted to quit more times than I can count.But I kept learning, testing, and improving. Today, that one decision helped me build six-figure online income and real freedom. I’m sharing this because if you’re feeling stuck right now — you’re not alone.And you don’t have to stay there. If I could start with no experience, you can too. 👇 Follow along — I share what actually works.

We’ve started equating “regulated” with “calm.” That’s not accurate. A regulated nervous system can: - protest - cry - get frustrated - resist - recover Dysregulation isn’t about volume. It’s about whether a child can return to baseline with support. **WITH SUPPORT** A toddler who melts down but reconnects quickly? That’s development. A child who expresses big emotion but stays organized in their body? Also development. Silence isn’t always strength. Calm isn’t always capacity. Watch recovery Watch reengagement. Watch how the body reorganizes. That tells you far more than the size of the reaction.

When parents are told to “wait and see,” it usually sounds like: Do nothing and hope for the best. That’s not actually helpful. What is helpful is knowing what to watch while you’re waiting — because development doesn’t pause just because new skills aren’t showing up yet. Instead of asking: - What should they be doing next? - What milestone comes after this? - Are they behind? Try noticing: - how easily your child transitions between positions - whether movement looks smoother or less effortful - if they recover more quickly after frustration - how long they stay with play before moving on - whether their body looks more organized, even without new skills These are signs of integration, not performance. This is also why copying activities from the internet often backfires. If you’re chasing the next skill, you miss the information your child is already giving you. Development isn’t a checklist — it’s a pattern. And patterns show up in how a child moves, not just what they can do. If you’re watching closely, you’re not “doing nothing.” You’re doing one of the most important parts.
