ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
AI can write shopping lists, plan meals, and even help manage the mental load of parenting, but there are some things technology will never replace.
In this episode of Demystifying Child’s Play, Ruth Vercoe explores the beautifully human parts of parenting that matter most: connection, surprise and delight, play, intuition, and true presence.
This episode is a gentle reminder that your child doesn’t need a perfectly optimised parent. They need the real you… the one who laughs, notices, plays, listens, and shows up.
If modern parenting has you feeling overwhelmed by advice, algorithms, and pressure to “do it all,” this conversation will help you reconnect with what truly matters.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why connection is built in tiny everyday moments
- The importance of surprise, delight, and wonder in childhood
- Why play matters more than perfection
- How to trust your parenting intuition
- What true presence looks like in real life
Because parenting was never meant to be automated.
