Playful Parenting with Aoife Bairead

Playful Parenting – Using your relationship and the power of play to support your child

The Playful Parenting workshop is designed for parents of pre-­school and school-age children. As they move into these more social and routine led spheres, children can begin to develop a range of new social and emotional behaviours. Anxiety, defiance, hyperactivity and communication difficulties can develop and parents may struggle to support their child through these experiences.

Playful Parenting will provide with gentle, child-focused tools and approaches to support their child in overcoming these issues, put in place and maintain boundaries, and develop alternative coping strategies. The group dynamic will allow parents to exchange ideas and develop confidence in practicing these at home.

Suggested age range: 2-5 yrs old
