Parenting through Play

For nearly 25 years, Dr Kim Van Dusen–a licensed family therapist, registered play therapist, creator of The Parentologist blog and mother of two–has provided parents with practical, effective ways to transform their parent-child communication by learning to speak in a way children can understand: the universal language of play. In this pioneering guide, Dr Kim shares her solution-focused strategies designed to meet children where they are and elicit positive behaviours. Covering everything from cooperation to healthy boundaries, Dr Kim offers straightforward how-to prompts, step-by-step instructions and creative ideas for engaging games. Suggestions include making chores fun by hopping on one foot while taking out the rubbish or pretending the floor is lava to get your little one out of the door quickly. With the perfect balance of expert-level parenting advice and personal experiences, Parenting Through Play is a much-needed tool kit of evidence-based resources, and fun, proactive solutions.
