It’s no surprise that experts believe parent-child play is good
for families. But do you ever feel too busy or tired to play? Do you ever feel guilty if a game of Candy Land is not
your idea of a good time, or feel exasperation when personalities clash in the midst of family fun?
In The
Power of Parent-Child Play, author Laurie Winslow Sargent tackles these issues with honesty, humor,
and practical advice. Her "5-Minute-Fun" activities will help you connect with, teach and nurture your children, and can help
reduce the need to discipline while inspiring more joy-filled parenting.
Sargent’s unique perspective on play
is influenced by her former work in psychiatric and developmental occupational therapy, her parenting magazine article research, and
her experience raising three children.
