Are you exhausted trying to get your kids to listen?
Who isn’t? And now it’s even more challenging while we’re cooped up with our kids because of the coronavirus pandemic.
If only there was a simple way to make parenting easier.
Good news, there is!
Make parenting a game.
“In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and—SNAP!—the job’s a game!” —Mary Poppins
Make Parenting Easier—and More Fun!
Rather than yelling and getting into power struggles, be playful like Mary Poppins and create games to deal with everyday challenges. You’ll transform frustrating moments into family fun while empowering your children and connecting your family.
Kids love to play, so when you’re playful, you work with your children rather than against them.
Do you want your kids to pick up their things? No problem!
Create a racing game to music. Within minutes, even strong-willed children will listen and cooperate willingly.
Learn playful ways to stop struggling with your toddlers and school-age kids with an entertaining, easy to read book, Parenting—Let’s Make a Game of It. Written for busy parents, the how-to messages are shared through amusing short chapters, and the down-to-earth tone leaves you feeling encouraged.
