Produktbeschreibung

"An inspired defense of roughhousing! I guarantee that if you read just a few pages of this book, you'll be down on the floor wrestling and laughing with your children."-Michael Thompson, co-author of the national best seller Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys Learn how rough-and-tumble play can nurture relationships, lead to closer connections, encourage resilience, and boost confidence in kids-with 45 illustrated activities to get you started. Every kid needs horseplay! Roughhousing is an essential part of childhood development-but it is increasingly overshadowed by screens and structured activities. In Unplug and Play, a doctor and a child psychologist, both dads, introduce parents to the benefits of physical play for young children. Drawing from gymnastics, martial arts, ballet, team sports, and even animal behavior, the authors present fun full-contact activities for parents and children to enjoy together, including:

• Human Cannonball
• Magic Carpet Ride
• Steamroller
• Jousting
• Raucous Pillow Fight
• And more!

With activities for everyone from toddlers to kids ages 12 and up, you'll build a foundation for a lifetime of enriching physical play. Previously published as The Art of Roughhousing, this updated edition incorporates new child development research and addresses the changing role of screen time.
