Show Notes

In this week's Q&A episode, I give my take on a listener's question: "I'd love to hear your take on the controversy of using aggressive toys in general." I break down my commentary into the following topics:
  • Thematically speaking, why aggressive toys are important
  • How aggressive toys are "means to an end" play
  • Resistance to aggressive toys in the playroom
