Why is play so vital in your child’s development?
Play is a vital ingredient to help your child learn about themselves and the world. Children are full of energy but as parents it can be hard to think of different activities for little ones to keep them entertained.
This week on The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we welcome back our Emotion Coach Expert Dr Christiane Kehoe to help us understand the importance of play time for children.
We ask:
Why play is important for our children
The age when children understand that something is imaginary
How many hours a parent should be playing with their child
Self-play and why it is so important
How we can encourage our children to play
As a parent we often hear our children say, ‘I’m bored’. Is a little boredom good for our children?
We ask Dr Christiane if we should be providing activities for our children
In today’s modern life children are very scheduled and have lots of after school activities. How much is too much?
Dr Christiane’s top play ideas or ways children like to play at the following key ages: babies, toddler, preschooler, school age child and teenagers
How important the ‘play environment’ is for our children i.e.. inside or out, structured and non structured and how to ensure we are providing this for our children.

Sleep has to be the number one thing all parents crave and it is probably the number one topic you get asked about when people enquire how your baby is going.

- At what age can parents typically expect their baby to sleep through the night?
- Is it realistic to expect a breastfed baby to sleep through the night?

- The biggest ‘mistake’ Dr Laura and Dr Fallon see parents make when it comes to supporting their child to start sleeping through the night
- How to know if overnight wake ups are due to hunger or habit
- How important are bedtime routines
- Top tips to get your baby to sleep through the night

Throughout pregnancy it is important to stay fit and active, but there are recommendations around what exercise is best, how hard to work out and when to continue or cease certain sports and training types.
This week on The Expert Guide to Parenthood podcast we ask Obstetrician Expert Dr Peter Jurcevic for his advice on how to safely stay fit and healthy during pregnancy, and what some of the fitness/activity considerations might be.
We discuss:
- The benefits of being fit and healthy through pregnancy
- The general rules about exercise in pregnancy, through each trimester
- What exercises are considered safe and what type of exercises should be avoided
- Why can it be dangerous to elevate your heart rate too high when pregnant
- How to determine how hard to work out and when to back off
- When should pregnant women stop playing team sports
- Are contact sports OK to play when pregnant
- Is weight training OK to continue when pregnant
- Can pregnancy and birth affect future fitness
