The last thing exhausted parents want to hear is that they should be playing with their kids more - right?
Perhaps the thought of rough and tumble play fills you with dread, perhaps you have tried it and it all ended in tears, or perhaps you are curious about it but you aren't quite sure how to go about it. This week I'm here to inspire you to give physical play a go with your kids. |
In as little as 10 minutes a week you can bring more giggles, more connection and more fun to your family.
And instead of seeing it as one more thing you should be doing, I'm going to show you how you can introduce a sustainable way to play and how it will actually bring more cooperation and less drama to your home.
I share with you how physical play can give your kids:
I take you through 11 tips to make the most out of physical play in your family whether that is a weekly family wrestle or a pillow fight before bed. The benefits are huge to your family if you get the foundations right.
I would be so delighted to hear your success stories. You can email me [email protected].
And if you find physical play tricky, I'd love to hear from you too.
