In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four  practical and simple tips of playful ways to teach problem-solving skills that will also help strengthen your connection and relationship with them.

1. Guided Brainstorming with a Timer
2. Building Challenges with Blocks or Legos
3. Mystery Box
4. “What Would You Do?” Game

Imagine building a bridge across a river: every stone laid down represents a skill, a tool, or a moment of connection gained through play. By consistently adding stones of patience, creativity, empathy, and communication, you and your child build a bridge that can carry them through life’s challenges. Through play, they know they can lean on this bridge and your guidance, making each problem they face a little easier to cross.
