FOR PARENTS

consultations

Playful Parenting means joining children in their world of play, focusing on connection and confidence, giggling and roughhousing, and following your child's lead. Sometimes just reading about it isn't enough, and it helps to have some one-on-one coaching.  Through play therapy in my office or your home, my goal is to help parents and families rediscover the joy of playing and enjoying one another.
PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer offering telephone consultations. I highly recommend the phone consultation services of Hand in Hand Parenting. You can reach them at handinhandparenting.org or (650) 322-5323.
 

 

parent workshops

All-day or Weekend Workshops
The all-day or weekend workshop is a chance for intensive training in the theory and practice of Playful Parenting, for parents and parent educators.

  • The basics of Playful Parenting: connecting, building confidence, and resolving problems through play.

  • The emotional life of the child (temper tantrums, tears, and fears).

  • Becoming the parent you always wanted to be: overcoming obstacles in ourselves and in our environment in order to parent effectively and happily.

  • Parent Leadership: All parents are already leaders, because we work towards improving things for our families and our communities. We can be more influential and effective leaders by organizing parents, coaching and teaching parents, and working towards making the world a better place for our children to grow up.
