PLAY EXPERT, EDUCATOR + MOM OF THREEHi! I’m Lizzie Assa, and I’m not here to fix your kid.
I’m here to help you feel steadier while you raise them.
I’ve been talking to parents about play and parenting for almost twenty years, and I still don’t think there’s one right way to do this. But when kids have room to play, they get more capable, and you get to stop second-guessing every move.

A few times a week I write about play, parenting, and the everyday stuff that comes with raising kids. It’s a top five bestselling Substack, and it’s the closest thing to sitting at my kitchen table.
You love your kids. You’re trying hard. And still…Some days it’s exhausting, and kind of lonely even when you’re never alone.
You don’t have to overhaul anything. A few small changes to how play happens at home can mean less yelling, more breathing room, and a little more of you in the day. The Play Plan walks you through it, step by step, for $11.
