Playful Parenting Guide: 20 games for cooperation

You know those moments—your child refuses to get dressed, toothpaste ends up on the ceiling, and you're already late. You’ve tried reasoning, bribing, maybe even end up with a threat… but nothing really works or feels right.

I’ve been there too. Until I discovered the power of play — not the Pinterest-perfect kind, but silly, light-hearted games that cut through resistance and bring back connection. Suddenly, what used to be a daily stand-off turned into giggles and cooperation.

This free guide gives you a glimpse into that transformation — with 20 simple games for things like transitions, toothbrushing, getting dressed, and tidying up. You’ll also get a breakdown of the 9 types of attachment play, so you can start using them right away.

This guide is free to download. If it brings more laughter and lightness to your days, you’re warmly invited to toss a coin in the “play jar” (aka the donation box above).

You’ll also find a code inside for a special discount on my Attachment Play Magic course.
