Playfulness isn’t just for fun - it’s a powerhouse for connection, learning, and behaviour support. This guide helps you tap into the power of playfulness and playful connection as a strategy for prevention, repair, and relationship. Joining a child’s world is often the bridge to bringing them back to yours.

You’ll Learn:

→ Why playfulness is one of the most powerful behaviour support tools we have

→ The neuroscience behind play and its role in regulation, learning, and connection

→ How to use playfulness to support transitions, repair, and tricky moments

→ What to do when playfulness backfires or makes things worse
