Description:
Once upon a time, dads worked 9 to 5, moms did housework and baked cookies, and kids ran free in the neighbourhood, finding their own fun - and their own playmates - almost effortlessly. Flash forward to the 21st century, when it seems play has to be pencilled in amid a busy agenda - both that of parents and children! - and play groups have become the norm for infants through preschoolers.
The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Play Groups addresses the questions of parents and the needs of kids in a warm, reassuring manner that will calm nerves, ease tensions, and keep the emphasis on 'play.'
The ABCs of play groups - setting them up, keeping them going, and getting out of them gracefully if they don't work for you or your child
Organizational issues - the who, what, where, and when of play groups
Play group rules - can caregivers attend? What about siblings?
Mommy and me, Daddy and me, and Mommy and Daddy and me, and me and my friends, and how each kind of group can function at its best
Child-focused issues, from separation anxiety and shyness to dealing with the dreaded biters
Grownup issues - competitive and uncooperative parents and how to deal with them gracefully
