Ever wondered why your toddler throws their food, launches toys off the couch, or can’t stop running back and forth? It’s not just chaos - it’s science in action.

In this episode, I’m giving you exclusive access to one of the most-loved modules from The Play Schemas Collective - all about trajectory play. You’ll learn to spot the everyday signs that your child is exploring this powerful play schema, and most importantly, what it’s telling you about their development.

We’ll unpack:

  • Why your child keeps throwing, dropping, and launching objects (and it’s not to wind you up!)
  • How fascination with movement is actually deep learning in disguise
  • What’s really going on when your child knocks over towers, flings socks, or can’t stop spinning
  • How to tell the difference between "bad behaviour" and a developmental drive that needs support
  • Practical ways to channel this energy into safe, satisfying play—without constant battles

Whether you’re folding laundry, pacing the pram, or finally sitting with a cuppa, this episode offers insight that’ll change how you see your child’s play... less mess, more meaning.
