We have an incredible recorded workshop called "Playful Parenting" based on his best-selling book. Have you ever stepped back to watch what really goes on when your children play? In his course Dr. Cohen will help you understand that play is children’s way of exploring the world, communicating deep feelings, getting close to those they care about, working through stressful situations, and simply blowing off steam. That’s why “playful parenting” is so important and so successful in building strong, close bonds between parents and children. Use code PLAYFUL30 to take 30% OFF https://instituteofchildpsychology.com/product/the-principles-of-playful-parenting/
