"But Why?"

Explore deeper realities with Why

Mother and child lying on a bed, talking. Both are looking at each other, and the child is listening intently.

The 'WHY' question used to show up around age 3 in a child's development and eventually fade away over the following years.


The pandemic might have changed this reality and expanded it to all age groups. The search for new meaning and purpose on a deeper level behind fake news and misleading information sends clear signals.


Sensitivity and creativity might be hiding behind anxiety or confusion, looking for a new area of expression.


Today I heard on NPR that a simple video of a cute dog enjoying a bone with a comment "It's a bones day" has gone viral. What a fun and creative way to infuse joy and smile in a few short seconds!


Everything flows better with joy, especially exploring deeper realities with WHY!


Let Parent Playtime support you on that journey!
