Are you exhausted trying to get kids to listen? And now that we’re cooped up with kids during this pandemic, parenting is even more challenging. If only there was a simple way to make parenting easier.
Good news, there is! Make parenting a game.
Instead of nagging and yelling at kids to listen, be playful like Mary Poppins. Kids love to play, so when you’re playful, you work with your children rather than against them. You’ll quickly discover that within minutes, even strong-willed kids will listen and cooperate willingly.
Make Parenting Easier—and More Fun
I’m Karen, a mom with two grown kids as well as a consultant in K-12 EdTech (Education Technology). I’ve spent my life immersed in this playful approach because it’s how my parents raised me and how I raised my children. This parenting style was a lifesaver, especially as a stressed-out mom. I want to share this technique so you too can enjoy being a parent. That’s why I wrote an easy to read, entertaining book for busy parents.
This is not your typical parenting book.
Parenting—Let’s Make a Game of It is a collection of amusing stories showing playful ways to stop struggling with your toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. Through relatable, light-hearted stories, you’ll learn how to turn everyday frustrating moments into fun learning experiences.
The results? You’ll make parenting more fun. You’ll empower your kids. And your family will spend more time connecting.
