What if joy was the missing ingredient in parenting?
In this episode of Mom Life Uncomplicated, Natalie sits down with Joy Robertson, early childhood educator and author of How to Teach Joy, to talk about the role of joy in child development, and why parents need it just as much as kids.
Joy shares insights from her 33+ years of experience teaching children, parents, and educators about the importance of intentional, joyful play. She explains how her book combines beautiful illustrations for kids with practical tools for adults, helping families understand child development in five key areas: social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and creative.
In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why joy is essential for both children and parents
  • The difference between happiness and deep, soul-filled joy
  • How unhealed trauma affects our ability to experience joy as adults
  • The five core areas of child development simplified for parents
  • Creative, simple activities to engage your child without expensive toys
  • Why “real modeling” matters more than “role modeling” in parenting
