Playful Parenting: How to Become the Best and Most Enjoyable Parent

Lawrence J. Cohen shows that play is not just child's play, but also the basis for a new way of raising children.
Parenting through play gives parents insight into their children's emotions. It is applicable to children of all ages and is based on the belief that how you play with your children has a major impact on the kind of people they will become later on. Correcting unwanted behavior and instilling discipline through play are among the possibilities with this book. Parenting through play is therefore a welcome alternative.
