8-Week Classes for Parents and Teachers of Children Ages 2-12
Hands-on success is the best way to learn!
If you learn best by DOING, this self-led, online class is perfect for you! It combines audio lessons with video demonstrations and your own hands-on experience in playtime with your child at home. (You don’t do the playing; your child does, with you at their side!)
Master our simple Language of Listening® coaching skills for connecting, guiding, and confidence-building in Power Playtimes you create for your child at home, then watch your new skills show up naturally in your daily interactions.
Using your coaching skills with your child in one-on-one playtimes — free of distractions — is the key to mastery and enjoying your child more!
You don’t have to choose between good behavior
and a good relationship with your child.
With coaching skills, you can have both!
As this 8-week class progresses, participants report that defiance, tantrums, back-talk, clinging, sibling rivalry, night-time fears, and a number of other troublesome childhood behaviors “magically” begin to disappear.
How can Power Playtime do all that?
This class teaches you how to put your child in the lead inside safe, supportive boundaries the same way child-centered play therapists do.
Free from external direction, your child will set exactly the right level of challenge for their own growth and solve their own problems… because that’s what kids do when put in the lead!
What’s the right level of challenge for a child?
The right level of challenge for growth is the level your child thinks they can succeed at! That’s what makes anything fun instead of frustrating.
Every child knows they learn best by success, not failure. You’ll get proof they’re right in Power Playtime!
And what do kids do when they succeed at one level?
They raise the bar and tackle the next challenge that’s exactly right for them. As you watch attentively, you will see your child play this out.
“This class is the easiest to implement, most effective and fun… All you really have to do is look with new eyes.” — Maite (children 5, 7)
“I just feel a lot more calm, a lot more at ease. Working on those skills in the playtimes, it really has seeped into everyday life.” — Eileen (children 4, 5)
“This was the single most valuable parenting course I’ve ever had. I’ll use playtimes for many years to come with both my kids. I am so grateful!” — Janet (children 2, 6)
No two children’s Power Playtimes are ever the same
because each child’s challenges are different.
Only your child knows what they need!
Prepare to be amazed at the ways your child uses the Power Playtime toys to set one challenge after another, meet their own needs, succeed, and grow.
Your 8 Mastery Class audio lessons and 60+ videos show you exactly how to create a safe space for your child to set the challenges that matter to them…
Right at home with you.

“I absolutely love your class! My daughter loves our playtime and will request it. Both of my kids are autistic and partial verbal. I can't always tell how much they understand, but I feel like the program has helped us. I love the lessons. I've recommended you to many other moms
” — Michelle (children 6, 8)

"My daughter just got an expander put in by the Orthodontist – something very terrifying to her – but she remained under control, kept moving forward, and got it done! Extremely brave! I credit this class and the power playtimes we’ve been doing together. My wife and I have seen dramatic changes and tremendous growth from her after only 4 playtimes. This was huge! What a difference!" — Paul (children 4, 7)

“I’m not sure there are even words to acknowledge the impact on a relationship after doing playtimes.” — Michelle (child 4)
“The Mastery Class was very experiential...It provided the breakthrough that I had been searching for in raising my children. It opened doors that I didn’t know were there, and boy did I start having conversations with my kids that I’d been wanting, but had no success with before.” — Jennifer (children 5, 8)
“The playtimes help me release and connect…I can leave the world behind and actually be with my child. I don’t think I’ve done that in a really long time…The playtimes are key for us, and it certainly seeped out into the rest of our lives…My daughter and I both talk about it all week; we’re looking forward to our next playtime. She’ll bring that up. That’s a really big plus!” — Anne (child 8)
