Don't waste the summer

Summer is a good time for reflection, focus, action and some clarity on raising a playful tot. All to often we have lots of fantastic ideas we want to do but just don’t get around to them. Now’s the time. I’ve tried to not bombard you with lots of resources this session and encourage you to take a step back from the play and parenting you have going on now and reflect.

In the links below you’ll find some discussion questions to take away and talk with your spouse, partner, friends and family. It’s not until you talk about play that you find allies in your area and fellowship in numbers.

In the comments, share the parenting and/or play book would you hands down recommend?
