Playfulness opens your child’s brain to learning and cooperation. In this class you will learn how and why this works. You will also learn easy ways to make daily routines fun and how playfulness can help during hard times.

Working from home can be a challenge if your children are dependent on you for keeping them entertained and busy. All children are capable of playing independently, which helps you both relax. Participants will be able to: 

• Identify ways to set up a space in your home that effectively invites independent play 
• Identify open-ended materials that keep young children engaged and learning while you work.  

Brain research tells us that how we behave as parents during the first 5 years of life will strongly influence outcomes for our children. In this class, you will learn how to support your babies and toddlers throughout the day with positive routines. 

• Learn about the inborn drives that support young children to learn family routines
• Recognize clear answers to the questions, What’s my job as a parent?  How do I create routines that work?
• Apply simple, practical strategies to increase cooperation and strengthen your positive connection with your child

Learn how to survive these important years while strengthening your parent-child relationship and your child’s self-worth and well-being.

We are built to reflect each other's emotions. When children display intense feelings and behaviors, our brains naturally reflect those. We start to feel stressed, angry, or overwhelmed just like our kids. Join us and learn practical tools to help you be a calm center for your family. 

Young children thrive in calm and playful families. Play is the best way to help your child learn and grow. It strengthens the parent-child connection, your child’s love of learning, and enthusiasm for life. Play builds social skills and improves cooperation.  We’ll offer a hands-on opportunity to play with your children at this class, including individual coaching and discussion with our trainers.
