Make play feel calmer, lighter, and more meaningful — without needing more energy, more toys, or more time.
A gentle, OT-informed play guide created specifically for mothers who want to better understand and support their child’s development, regulation, and independence — even on the hard days.
30+ pages of practical guidance
(That’s hours of OT-informed education — simplified, realistic, and ready when you need it.)
If you find yourself wondering,
“Am I doing enough?”
If your child loses interest quickly, becomes overwhelmed, or needs more from you than you can give some days — especially when you’re already exhausted —
You are not doing anything wrong.
You’re a mum carrying a lot — and you’ve likely never been given the kind of support that actually helps.
This guide was created to help you understand why play can feel hard sometimes, and to offer gentle, realistic ways to make play feel lighter, calmer, and more manageable for both you and your child.
It is an educational resource designed to support mothers with:
understanding play
responding to their child with confidence
reducing pressure and overwhelm around “doing it right”
Use everyday play as a tool to support your child’s development in practical, realistic ways
Encourage independent play without pressure, guilt, or unrealistic expectations
Adapt play to suit different interests, abilities, and your own energy levels
Use play as a way to support co-regulation and connection, especially during challenging moments
Better understand what may be happening when play breaks down
Feel more confident and less overwhelmed as a mum, even when things feel messy
You’re a mum to a baby, toddler, or young child
You want practical guidance without clinical jargon or overwhelm
You’re supporting emotional regulation, sensory needs, or development in everyday life
