Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Ready to Play offers families emotionally healthy, lasting solutions to a common struggle: keeping the peace when young kids play together. Children will love the full-color pictures and fun story, and parents and caregivers will learn the language of positive parenting. With honesty and gentle humor, this book shows parents how to encourage sharing, soothe hurt feelings, ease jealousy, and prevent and settle arguments - without rescuing kids from solving their own problems. Positive parenting techniques include giving encouragement, validating feelings, and inviting solutions and outcomes. The result: you get through everyday challenges with less stress while building your child's emotional intelligence.

Synopsis:

Trouble sharing. Haggles over what to play. Jealousy, hurt feelings--and of course tears when playtime ends. For kids just learning to get along, playtime can be riddled with conflict. Ready to Play offers healthy, lasting ways to help kids cooperate, develop social skills, and have fun.
