Do you ever feel guilty if a game of Candy Land is not your idea of a good time, or 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. This book offers you: Fresh insights on play barriers and benefits Tips on how to squeeze meaningful bits of play into busy, stressful days
