Freedom to Play for Children
Mental Freedom for Moms

It’s 10:15 AM and you’re sitting with a hot cup of coffee.
Your toddler is nearby, deeply engaged in play—without needing you.
Not a screen in sight. No guilt. No chaos. No whining.
Just quiet. Just peace. Just… freedom
This isn’t a fantasy.
This is what life looks like when you stop subscribing to the “always-on” culture of modern motherhood—and start trusting your child’s innate ability to play.
​
Inside Freedom to Mother, I’ll show you how to create multiple 30-minute+ pockets of time every day where your children play independently—so you can breathe, think, work, rest, or just sit in silence without guilt.
​
Because here’s the truth no one tells you:
​
🛑 You weren’t meant to entertain your kids all day.
🛑 They weren’t meant to be constantly stimulated or scheduled.
🛑 Motherhood doesn’t have to mean martyrdom.
Your children thrive through independent play.
And you thrive when you finally have the space to be more than just “mom.”
​
Because motherhood was never meant to come at the cost of your mental freedom.
And childhood was never meant to be filled with constant noise and stimulation.
​
Independent play isn’t just good for your children—it’s good for all of you.
This is how you all thrive. This is how you all get what you need.

​​I want you to know...​
You're not lazy for wanting time to yourself.​
You're not selfish for needing space.​
You're not failing because your child wants you 24/7.​
You're just stuck in a culture that sold you the lie that good moms give everything.​
But I’m here to show you a different way.​
A way where both you and your child thrive.​
A way where play becomes the foundation—not one more thing to manage.​
A way where you finally feel the freedom to mother the way you were meant to.


Stop feeling burnt out, frustrated and like you always need to be "on".​​​​​
Free up some time for yourself without guilt or overwhelm.​​​
Empower your child to explore and play independently.

I’m Amanda Dixon an early childhood education expert, homeschooling mom of three, and I'm here to help you remove the martyrdom from your motherhood.
With over two decades of experience and a master's degree in early childhood, plus 14 years of being a mom myself, I want you to know that motherhood isn't supposed to be hard ALL of the time. And the way that you and your children mutually thrive in both childhood and motherhood is through --> Independent Play.
When I'm not blabbering on about independent play, you'll find me at Disney World or watching reality TV with a chocolate chip cookie and cuppa tea, by myself.
