Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThere may just be a method to the madness after all! Our toddlers are constantly learning about the world around them. And the main way in which they learn is through play and play schemas. From throwing things and ripping pages out of books to tossing all their toys out of the bin and lining their cars up in a certain way, our toddlers are naturally moving through phases that help them better understand how the world works. Though it can be frustrating for us as parents, our children aren't just trying to annoy us but are, in fact, simply learning. Join Heather and Ruth in this mind-blowing episode where the method behind the madness is finally revealed and play schemas are explained! If your toddler has a knack for throwing, tearing, ripping, dropping, or climbing, then this is one episode you won't want to miss! About Ruth: Ruth Vercoe is a teacher-turned-mum on a mission to demystify child’s play through understanding play schemas. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why is my child doing that?” —whether it’s throwing soft toys, hiding stones around the house, or lining up crayons—you’re certainly not alone. It wasn’t until Ruth was in the thick of parenting that she realized she had entered this journey with an unfair advantage. Her unique edge was a deep understanding of play schemas—how they show up in young children and how to work with them, rather than against them. Now, she’s passionate about helping other parents gain that same insight. Ruth comes to this first and foremost as a wife and mum to two amazing young boys. She brings over 15 years of experience working with children, with the majority of her teaching career focused on junior-aged students. A lifelong learner, Ruth holds a Bachelor of Education, a postgraduate diploma in Special Education, a Certificate in Digital and Online Learning, and a Master’s in Education—not to mention a deep love of the outdoors.

But what if they don't work? Boundaries are a great tool to have in your parenting toolkit, and you should use them when appropriate, but they aren't the only parenting tool or strategy we can use to be effective in our parenting. When used alone, boundaries can actually have the opposite effect with our children as they teach what NOT to do but don't teach what TO do. So we need to add in some additional support to see real results and real behavior changes. Join Heather in this episode as she discusses the 5 common pitfalls of toddler boundaries and how to avoid them!

My training comes from Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, a methodology that investigates healing opportunities within your body’s systems, and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which pursues a holistic health approach focusing on the interactions between food and wellness. While these organizations represent my formal training, my own personal experience with holistic health began years before when I suffered from chronic stomach pain and was never given any real answers on what to do. It was my first understanding in how diet, stress, and environment can have a major impact on our health." Heather - "Hi! I’m Heather and have been teaching Pilates since 1999. I am a Mother of 2 boys and I own this wonderful business where I get to help people find their groove again. After my first was born, I healed my Diastasis Recti and pelvic floor using the methods I have learned through Pilates and other DR work. After my second, I was so busy with the first, I had a much harder time healing my DR. After 3 years and still not loving the way everything looked, I dove deeper. I lift, CrossFit, and practice Pilates. My core was strong, but after having two babies late in the game (my first came when I was 37 and the second right before I tuned 40), I lost more elasticity than I was willing to admit. The work I had done was working to a point and halting. I found Sarah Duvall’s Postpartum Exercise Specialist Certification program and through what I have learned from her and my own experience, I have been developing a system to help mamas heal their pelvic floor and Diastasis, help answer those embarrassing questions as to why I pee when I jump, and empower these mamas to feel strong and beautiful."
