This morning I was feeling a little sleepy and out of it. My son and I are both sick and were up early. So I started talking like a robot! And I immediately started to feel lighter and more connected.

I love having really simple ideas on hand to get playful. And I’m convinced that being playful as a parent not only helps us to connect with our children, but also to release our own stale energy.

Whether it’s taking on the voice of a robot, a french chef or cookie monster, this one is easy and takes very little energy. And it can really help to shift us into feeling funny and fun again!
