It’s been a long day, getting home from toddler sitting and glad to sit down and relax. So much fun today as my grandson mastered the art of catching bubbles and how to direct water to squirt me. But, the summit is almost here and I want to introduce a few more fabulous speakers. Some of the most important parts of play are difficult to see. A child pauses before reacting. A parent recognizes what is happening beneath a behavior. A family feels safe enough to reconnect after a difficult moment. Our next group of Expert speakers will explore how play supports emotional wellbeing, regulation, attachment, and connection. @Brenda Chilstrom presents The Missing Piece of Emotional Regulation on Monday, August 17, from 12:00–1:00 PM CDT. @Celia Kibler explores The Depth of PLAY on Thursday, August 20, from 10:00–11:00 AM CDT. @Jen Staniforth brings us the pre-recorded session Emotional Regulation Through Play. @Kayla Meyer presents the pre-recorded session Good Enough: The Science of Secure Attachment. I appreciate the phrase “good enough.” Families do not need perfect reactions, perfectly regulated children, or perfectly planned connection time. We need practical ways to understand one another and find our way back when family life gets messy. These four sessions invite us to look beneath the activity and explore what play can make possible. Which topic speaks most directly to your family right now?

What an incredible milestone — 200 members in your community! 🥳 Your hard work, generosity, and dedication to helping others are clearly paying off. ❤️ Wishing you continued success as your community grows even bigger. 👍 Well done, and here's to the next milestone! 🚀👏

The final speaker elements are arriving and I think you are going to be happy. On that note, rookie mistake on my part, I just figured out how to set up the All-Access bundle so my mistake is your gain. The All-Access Bundle will be available for purchase starting tomorrow and the $15.99 bundle price will now be in effect until 21 Aug. Price increases 22 Aug Now, let’s meet our first group of experts. Connection sounds simple until real life gets involved. Children resist. Teenagers pull away. Parents run out of energy. Caring adults wonder whether they are helping, hovering, pushing too hard, or missing something important. Our first group of Expert speakers is stepping directly into those moments. @Anna Murrietta joins meet chatting about Small Moments, Big Connections on Sunday, August 16, from 12:00–12:30 PM CDT. @Nat Carey will be sharing tips for what to do When Dad Has Nothing Left on Monday, August 17, from 5:00–6:00 PM CDT. @Chanie Twersky brings her unique perspective Parenting Teens Without Losing Yourself on Wednesday, August 19, from 3:00 - 4:00 PM CDT. @Janell Bitton will be leading the conversation as we explore what happens When Connection Time Meets Resistance on Thursday, August 20, from 8:00–9:00 AM CDT. And I’m excited to welcome @Max Orlewicz , he works primarily with moms and will speak about Parenting Teen Sons. These are not conversations built around perfect families or easy answers. They begin with family life as it actually happens and offer ideas caring adults can use without pretending the difficult parts do not exist. Which conversation feels closest to what your family needs right now?
