Synopsis

Destress your parenting and your life with play-space organizing tips that promote independent play for your kids and give you some room to breathe.

Every parent has been there: desperately fed-up with the mountains of toys cluttering every corner of your home and frustrated by kids who insist (despite the mountains of toys) they are bored and that you need to entertain them. It's time to say goodbye to this stress and say hello to a new way or organizing your home and your family life. Myriam Sandler, creator and founder of Mothercould, is here to help you!

Playful by Design is a step-by-step resource for creating play spaces that ignite your child's imagination and nurture their growing independence. Picture a home where:

• Kids engage in enriching, self-directed play
• Boredom becomes an opportunity for creativity
• Thoughtfully planned spaces alleviate mental and physical clutter
• Less is more. Fewer toys and activities encourage play
• Parents have the space and time to catch their breath

 

Myriam will help you:

• Plan your play-spaces
• Declutter
• Organize by type (and customize for various age groups!)
• Set up a toy rotation system
• Maintain (easily and efficiently!)

 

With Myriam's tested insights, you'll learn how to design spaces that evolve with your family, catering to every age, interest, and budget. Playful by Design will help you say goodbye to constant overwhelm, and welcome a more intentional, connected family life filled with joy, creativity, and a better balance of ‘mom time' and ‘me time.'
