Publisher's Summary
Playful Parenting means joining children in their world of play, focusing on connection and confidence, giggling and roughhousing, and following your child's lead. This audiobook is an exciting approach to raising children that will help you nurture close relationships and solve behavior problems.
Think about the loving gaze of an infant, the no-hold-barred embrace of a toddler, the intimacy of a shared bedtime story, or a silent hand-in-hand walk. These moments of heartfelt connection with our children are part of the great payoff for the hard work of parenting. Yet this connection all too often eludes us. We find ourselves locked in battle instead of joined in partnership. Play can be the long-sought bridge back to that deep emotional bond between parent and child.

The first book of parenting all should hear
I loved this. I will listen to this over and over again. It was everything I needed and so much more. Every parent should listen to this, ideally while the kids are babies. Thank you!

Child play is meaningful
I had never realized that child play contained so much about how their world was or wasn't working. Recommend this to parents and those fostering. It has lowered our stress levels. Graham

Bluey's Dad's handbook.
I absolutely loved this book. if bluey's dad had a handbook it would be this book.
It completely changed the way I interact with my kids. instead of getting upset or angry I play games and break their bad moods. everyone is happier, most of all me.

A great parenting book
I loved this book - some very interesting insights on how we can use play to establish a deeper connection with our children. Great tips for parents but I would also recommend this book to educators and anyone working with kids.

Great, practical examples
Easy listening, entertaining tones with great and practical examples of what the author discusses.
My husband and I have tried a few of the playful strategies with my 3 and 5 year old boys, and do they really lift the mood of us all!
It’s an insightful book to remind us of the true heart of children and how to connect with them; a book that also wonderfully surprised us adults with the ‘side effect’ of being playful parents.
I highly recommend it!
