Publisher's Summary
Discover how short, daily playful interactions with your kids can help them face their fears, handle big emotions, and bolster their social skills—by the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and a renowned play therapist
Most parents understand that unstructured play time is good for a child's attention span and creativity, but new science has discovered that specific, deliberate, playful interaction with parents is the key to their healthy emotional development and later resilience as well.
As Tina Payne Bryson and expert Georgie Wisen-Vincent explain, this doesn’t mean getting on all fours and making toy car sounds or enrolling a child in mommy-and-me classes; it's the daily, little moments together that can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, they detail the seven playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic and take just a few minutes. You'll learn how
- Leaning Into Emotions helps your child let go of anxieties, drama and chaotic behavior
- Tuning Into the Body teaches a child to practice the art of surfing sensory waves
- Storytelling promotes better problem solving
- Thinking Out Loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with you, their siblings, and everyone else
Full of science-backed research, real-life stories, and charming line illustrations, The Way of Play will help parents nurture kids who are calm listeners, cooperative problem solvers, and respectful communicators. Just as important, they’ll help families have more fun together.
