Ashleigh Warner
About this episode

In this episode, Ashleigh has a very special guest - Her husband, Mike.

Ashleigh asks him about one parenting choice that they didn't automatically agree on - PLAY.

Mike wanted to play with his kids a lot, thinking that it made him the involved dad that he wanted to be.

However, Ashleigh knows that self directed play is a major need in children's development and that it must be protected.

This episode is all about how they navigated that difference.
