Parents have observed that play is a child's work--but play is not for kids only. As psychologist Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D., demonstrates in this delightful new publication, play can be the basis for an progressive and rewarding method of parenting. From eliciting a giggle during baby's first game of peek-a-boo to cracking jokes with a teenager while going out at the shopping center, Playful Parenting is a total guide to using play to raise strong, self-assured children.
Have you ever stepped back again to watch what really continues on whenever your children play? As Dr. Cohen points out, play is children's intricate and liquid way of discovering the world, connecting hard-to-express emotions, getting near to those they care about, working through demanding situations, and blowing off vapor. That's why "playful parenting" is so important therefore successful in building strong, close bonds between parents and children. Through play we become a member of our kids in their world. We help them express and understand profound emotions, foster connection, aid the process of emotional healing--and have a great time ourselves while we're at it.
Anyone can be considered a playful parent--all it takes is a feeling of excitement and a determination to let down your shield and try something new.
