  • The Enchantment of Play: Parenting Game Changer with Michael Mendizza

    The Enchantment of Play: Parenting Game Changer with Michael Mendizza
    Jul 19 2024

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSVOZQkevbkWelcome to the Father's Day special episode of Primal Parenting with our special guest, Michael Mendizza, award-winning documentary film producer, author, and founder of Touch the Future, a 501C3 non-profit.

    People think of play as just a frivolous thing but it really is so foundational to our social and emotional wellbeing.

    Michael Mendizza is coming to the Primal Parenting Podcast to enlighten parenting on the power of play. It's the ultimate parenting secret sauce because noting is possible without first building connection.

    Michael has written a lot about play being the foundation and critical formula for the critical ingredient for learning in his books and on his one-of-a-kind think tank: Touch the Future (which sponsors this non-profit Primal Parenting initiative) https://ttfuture.org

    The sensory development and the social emotional development and the pleasure of play allows more cognitive learning later. Basically cognitive learning is abstract. It's abstracted. It's a mental image that creates what we think of as thinking. But it's really a crossword puzzle or musical chairs playing with abstract concepts and putting them together. All this is built on playful interaction.

    Watch this inspiring presentation today and start leveling up your parenting tomorrow with the power of play!
