In this episode, Scott and Casille talk about the importance of fostering a sense of cooperation and to take the ideas of others, accept them in their entirety and add to them by utilizing a classic Improv rule “Yes and”. This not only applies to fun theatrical performances, but also to playing with kids and even engaging with one another on a deeper emotional level. Playing, relationships, and entertainment could get stale if the individuals involved are not actively participating in pushing along the story.

It can be difficult to entertain children when you need to get housework done, but simple games and the incorporation of improvisational rules can go a long way with helping keep them engaged and occupied.

In this episode Scott and Casille talk about how it's important to explain things to kids in a way that they can understand. Kids don't have the same understanding of the world as adults, so it's important to break things down for them in a way that they can make sense of. This is especially important when it comes to scary or confusing experiences, like going to the hospital. By taking the time to explain things to kids, we can help them feel more comfortable and less scared.

Another topic on this episode is that it's important to be patient with kids. Kids are still learning and growing, so they're not going to understand everything right away.

By being patient, we can help kids feel more comfortable and confident in communicating with us.
