has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Play is where it begins.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To play is to risk\u2014to be vulnerable, to be seen, to try something that might not work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That\u2019s why play isn\u2019t just essential for children\u2014it\u2019s the foundation of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And just like children can\u2019t play without trust, adults can\u2019t innovate without safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That\u2019s why the\u00a0Neurorelational Love Model\u00a0and the\u00a0Love Loop\u00a0are at the heart of this space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">They create the belonging, attunement, and emotional safety we need to co-create boldly, joyfully, and with purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
