A few of my colleagues have been incredibly helpful in helping parents discover Playful Parenting, and I want to return the favor and point you to their valuable work.

Pam Leo, a parent educator in Maine, is the author of Connection Parenting:  Parenting Through Connection Instead of Coercion, Love Instead of Fear www.connectionparenting.com

Patty Wipfler, founding director of Hand in Hand Parenting, is the author of an award-winning series of pamphlets called Listening to Children.  Her website is packed with articles and other information, and much of it is also available in Spanish.  www.handinhandparenting.org

Michael Thompson, my co-author, mentor, and friend,  wrote a powerful book, called The Pressured Child.  Do you ever ask your children, "How was school today?" but don't get a complete answer (or any answer at all)? Michael's book helps answer this question for all kinds of kids, from those who seem to breeze through school to those who dread it. His newest book is called It's a Boy! Check it out.

Other people have supported my work through inspiration.  Pamela Haines, of Philadelphia, used to send out a wonderful printed newsletter called Our Children Our Selves, and I really missed it when it ended. Then she started an email newsletter, which did not focus on parenting but was always inspiring.  Now she has joined the blogosphere, you can read her columns.
