We all have dreams of  idyllic, lazy Summer days...
Playing with our oh-so-cooperative children...

Siblings and friends are getting along wonderfully, easily working out any small upsets...
They overcome their fear of water, are ready to try new things, and meet new people...

You have abundant energy and a constant flow of fresh activities...

And then reality sets in.

Some of you may have noticed that that's not always exactly how it works out.
I may not have all the answers, but I can help.

Some of you have said to me in recent weeks, "I need a Playful Parenting booster shot." Here it is.

Based on the book by Larry Cohen, this class will explain why PLAY is so important emotionally, socially, and neurologically.
You will walk away with some fresh thinking about:
Siblings
Improved connection with your child
Reduced power struggles
Rough and tumble play
Assisting children with fears
What to do when you feel like you can't possibly play one more game of Barbie (or Transformers)
Playfully handling discipline issues

The good news about play is that it helps YOU feel more connected and relaxed, too, not just your child. It goes both ways.
