Child-Parent Play Days

Have you ever stepped back to watch what really goes on when your child plays? Play is your child'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 we've created Child-Parent Play Days. The connection you will build with your child while you watch and interact with their play is so important and will help you build successful, strong and close bonds with your child.

Through play we join our kids in their world and help them to...

express, release and understand complex emotions
break through shyness, anger and fear
empower themselves and respect diversity
play their way through challenging relationships
cooperate without power struggles

The Child-Parent Play Days will guide you in using play to raise a confident child, help you enjoy your child more and add invaluable skills to your parenting tool kit.

ContentThis workshop is specifically designed for parents, step parents, foster carers, kinship carers or anyone wanting to increase their connection with a child in their life between the ages of 5yrs and 10yrs of age. It is aimed at enhancing joyful parenting relationships and at promoting the development of positive parent-child relationships. The workshop is especially helpful for parents whose child has experienced a trauma or stressful life event or is in an ongoing stressful situation.

Over the series of three workshops we will:

Play numerous games to enhance bonding, fun and safe emotional release

Learn new ways to encourage the kind of play that helps children heal and feel good

Explore new skills to enhance your relationship with your child
