Play designed by experts for your child’s developing brain & mind.
Stronger relationships.
Did you know that your child’s brain changes with every experience you share? Parents and professionals who work with children can strengthen relationships - just by playing. But not just any kind of play. We’ve boiled down the research to teach you exactly how to make the most of quality time and bring out the best in your kids. Whatever you do, the way you play with your child can make all the difference.
Better emotional regulation.
Kids are born to connect with us. But it can be hard to stay connected when your child’s behavior is driven by anger, stress and anxiety. Recent studies show that parent-child play can transform negative emotions and significantly reduce stress levels for both you and your child. We’ve got you covered. With a few simple strategies up your sleeve, you can shift your child’s mood from cloudy to sunny in just minutes a day.
More resilience to face adversity.
Sometimes kids face adversity that can shake up their ability to cope effectively. Trauma-informed research tells us that we need to build up protective factors to support children and prevent toxic stress. When kids find helpers and solutions in their play, they learn how to handle challenges, big or small. All it takes is one special adult with the right toolkit to help kids build resilience and bounce back from the hard stuff.
“Today’s kids have more anxiety and it’s showing up in their behavior. PlayStrong builds resilient kids in our ever-changing times.”
