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.
