Thank you for this beautiful piece that is aimed at enlightening. Its great. If I were to consider anything for not getting this book, its definitely not the pricing. I like thus excellent work right by checking its review and features up. I do get into serious frustrating moments with my kids and sometimes it extends longer than it is supposed to be.
But I believe this book will help to make our relationship more interesting and argument less.
Hi Darrick,
I wrote this book for exactly that reason… to help ease those everyday frustrating moments we have with our kids. We’ve all been there! If you read my book, I’d love to hear which stories and playful approaches you found most helpful. The idea is to spark the readers’ playfulness through entertaining stories that “teach” the “lessons.” Here’s to more playful parenting!
Best,
Karen
I love this blog post, I don’t know what I’d do without you and your great info! I told my husband that I am planning of getting a nice book on parenting just some days ago. I am a mother of two that is heavily pregnant, I need to prepare myself more in having a fun like family. So going through the points you have made about this book has already made me have much interest in it. I am going to share my experience as soon am done reading it,have bookmark your page. Thank you so much, it is so appreciated!!!
Hi Labulo,
Congrats on the upcoming birth of your new little one! Thanks for reading my book. My parents used this playful approach with me, and then I used it to raise my two kids (who are now adults). It’s amazing how something as simple as creating a game can really work.
I’d love to hear your favorite stories and which approaches resonated with you. The idea is to show ideas through light-hearted stories, which spark your own playfulness. LOL, I still use many of these techniques today, even as an adult!
Enjoy your kids and parenting. It goes way, WAY too fast, so let’s make a game of it and enjoy being a parent. It will also empower your kids and make your family closer.
Best regards,
Karen
I absolutely love what I read in this insightful article because it is full of great information. This is fascinating and interesting to me. This is a book every parent should read, parents are to make a children happy and fun. This will be a guide to give every home maximum fun and the price is pocket friendly. Thanks for the review.
Hi Whitedove1,
Thanks! I wrote this book to share my parents’ playful parenting philosophy of using games to deal with everyday obstacles. It actually works. I’d love to hear which stories are your favorites and which approaches you found most helpful. The idea is to spark the readers’ imagination to then apply this approach to your own situations.
Here’s to positive, playful parenting!
Best regards,
Karen
It’s always fun to play family games and especially when times can be trying.
Disciplining a child isn’t the easiet thing to do sometimes.
And who doesn’t want to have fun over struggling with your kids?
I’ve been through it more times than I can imagine.
Once the child gets interested in the book, it can turn negative things into positive ones.
Not all children are very difficult but most can be challenging.
This can help and make raising your kids a bit smoother.
What ages do you recommend this book for?
Hi Rob,
It’s amazing how this playful approach is so effective. It makes parenting more fun, empowers the kids, and strengthens family connections.
Even though the stories focus on toddlers through elementary school-age, this philosophy works for any age. My kids are grown, and we still use these techniques.
I just released my book and am offering a special price thru April 30th. If you end up getting it, I’d love to hear if it helped.
The idea is to provide examples which spark your playfulness, so you can then apply this philosophy and approach to your situations. I was a single stressed-out mom and it worked for me. Thankfully, this is how my parents raised me, so it’s in my DNA. Now I want to share this approach with others, so it will also help them.
Best regards,
Karen
