Book Reviews of Playful Parenting
Book Review: A great Book about Connecting with your kids through play
Summary: 4 Stars
In this fast paced life we lead it is easy to become disconnected from our children in so many ways. I found this book extrememly helpful for connecting with my kids through play. Cohen used personal examples that were interesting as well as gave play by play instruction for those of us who have forgotten how to "get down on the floor" and enjoy the things our kids enjoy. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their relationships with their children.Book Review: A great guide for parents
Summary: 5 Stars
Lawrence Cohen has such a tender-hearted way of engaging with kids. What I like about his approach is that he avoids doing battle or using power; rather he understands what it's like to be a child, and helps kids come his way naturally. A wonderful book!Book Review: A truly excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Cohen brings to light important and practical ways to get closer to your children. This book -- based both on sound research and everyday applications -- will be a great help to any parent who desires closer bonds with their child. After all, parenting should be fun and Cohen teaches the reader how be a thinking and playful companion to a child.Book Review: ALLL TO GETHER GREATNESS

Book Review: Back into the GAME
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 40 & have a son 6. I find that I love to watch him play, but I had trouble stopping my "things I had to get done" and getting "down & dirty" with him. We spent lots of time in "parallel play" --me doing my thing in the same room with him doing his because we both got a bit bored with each other's games. (For example, he loves creating magnetix structures & I love jigsaw puzzles.)
This book seeks to help you give YOURSELF permission to let your guard down & enjoy your children on their own level. It's very rewarding & we're having much more interesting games. Sometimes we make up the rules (something I didn't do much before because "it wasn't how you're supposed to do it"!) But what I learned was that if I'd play by his rules on occasion, he'd agree to play by mine (the "right ones"). Often, his rules are more fun! Who knew! Now we jump on the bed together sometimes & I've learned that my grandmother was wrong -- it IS fun to play in the mud and we're all washable!
