Purposeful Play: Raising Boys Who Learn by Doing
Is your son always on the move, building, pretending, or turning life into a game? You’re not alone—and it’s not just play, it’s purposeful learning!
In this inspiring episode of the Mothers of Boys Survival Guide, veteran kindergarten teacher and boy mom Kathy Baer joins Suzy Shaw and Cheryl Bohn to break down how purposeful play builds brain development, supports emotional growth, and teaches vital life skills like communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.
💡 Discover how simple activities—like playing with a cardboard box—can spark imagination, boost confidence, and even improve learning outcomes. 👦 Hear powerful stories from Kathy’s 36 years in the classroom (including one that might bring you to tears). 🏠 Get creative ideas for summer play that doesn’t require fancy toys or nonstop supervision.
