Summary of Lawrence J. Cohen's Playful Parenting

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Play can be the bridge between parent and child, as it can ease the stress of parenting. It can also be a way for children to make the world their own, and it can be difficult for adults to understand and participate in this world.

#2 Playful Parenting can happen anywhere, and it begins with play. It includes comforting a crying baby, hanging out at the mall, and taking the training wheels off the bicycle. It also includes negotiating rules with your kids, and listening to their fears and dreams before bed.

#3 Play is a child’s main way of communicating, experimenting, and learning. If a child won’t or can’t play, he or she is in significant emotional distress. Play is also children’s main way of relaxing.

#4 Play is a place where a child can be fully himself. It is fun, but it is also meaningful and complex. Play is important not just because children do so much of it, but because there are layers and layers of meaning to even the most casual play.
