Play makes kids stronger. It’s necessary for their physical and emotional development, and even their academic development. Play helps kids work through and make sense of hard things. 

A few months ago I went searching for a resource that teaches parents some of skills I used as a play therapist because I am passionate about breaking down barriers and teaching these skills to as many adults as possible- not just therapists. 

Tina Payne Bryson’s newest book (co-authored with Georgie Wisen-Vincent), The Way of Play, is exactly this resource. 

It was a delight to connect with Dr. Payne Bryson and get a sneak peek into her new book, The Way of Play.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• Why play is so important
• The 7 Strategies in PlayStrong Parenting
• How to Bring Emotions to Life
• How to Make Yourself a Mirror

Resources mentioned in this podcast:

• Dr. Tina Payne Bryson’s website
• The Way of Play new book- preorder by January 20
• The Way of Play PreOrder Bonus Virtual Event Registration
