Combining the power of play with clinically proven parenting skills... 

Learn the secrets of play therapy in this 6-week online parenting program called PlayWorks. You’ll learn how to use toys and play to improve your child’s behavior, social skills, and ability to express themselves. You’ll also learn well-researched parenting skills to help you feel more confident and in control with your child.

Quick: Parents are busy and their time is precious. PlayWorks is created with today’s parent in mind. It can be done on your own schedule in small, bite-size pieces over 6 weeks... or even faster, for those who don't want to wait.

Easy: After you purchase PlayWorks, you will receive a username and password to give you instant access to the program.

Creative: People learn in many different ways. That’s why PlayWorks includes:

•      Podcasts- for those who learn by listening
•      Listening guides- for those who like to take notes
•      Videos- for those who learn by watching
•      Family activities- for those who enjoy being active and playing together
•      Homework- for those who like to practice what they are learning
•      A parenting journal- for those who appreciate having time to think and reflect

Each week involves a little bit of everything!

Comprehensive: PlayWorks doesn’t stop at helping you manage child behavior problems. You will also learn how to improve your child’s self esteem, decision-making skills, self-control, ability to identify and express feelings, and sense of connection to you and other people. As a parent, you will learn how to feel more confident and in control.

Cost-effective: Consulting with a child therapist is often expensive. In comparison, PlayWorks is less than the cost of a single counseling session. 

Fun: Let’s face it. Most parenting programs aren’t fun, and they definitely don’t provide guidance for parents and caregivers on how to play together in meaningful ways. In PlayWorks, you will learn how to get a sneak peak into your child’s heart and mind through play!

Clinically-Supported: The parenting skills taught in PlayWorks are supported by over 50 years of clinical research, including studies published by it's creator, Dr. Amy Wickstrom.

Preventative: Don’t wait until you have difficulties with your child before getting your hands on good parenting information. Be proactive and prevent problems from happening in the first place.

Healing: Sometimes children struggle and simply need a little extra help. PlayWorks shares the secrets of play therapy with today’s parents so they can help their own children at home.
