Parenting with Play & Empathy

Parenting with play & empathy sounds lovely – but does it actually work?
Yes. Science backs it up. And real life proves it too.

🎉 After an incredible first session where parents said they left feeling more confident, inspired, and supported, we’re doing it again.

From brushing teeth and getting dressed to bedtime, transitions, and big feelings – when we understand how play supports cooperation and regulation, everyday moments start to feel lighter.

🐸 Join Frogs in Mugs for a hands-on parenting workshop.

We leave behavioral tools behind (time-outs, reward charts, artificial consequences) and focus on what supports your child’s long-term emotional and cognitive development

🌟 What We Will Explore Together

• The Science Bit: Rooted in attachment theory and play research, we’ll explore how empathy creates trust, and how play acts as the ultimate "battery charger" for your child’s brain.

• From Struggles to Snuggles: Use a playful lens to turn stressful transitions (bedtime, mealtime, leaving the park) into bonding moments that get results (and giggles).

• Play Styles: Get curious about your own play preferences and strengths – we help you find what feels natural and doable for you.

• Froggy Ideas: You’ll leave with a toolkit of simple ideas to use right away – plus a quick look at how the Froggy App can support daily connection at home.

👋 This workshop is for you if:

• You’re parenting a kiddo aged 3-8 (though it’s never too early or too late to set a playful tone!).

• You want to shift out of "manager mode" and trade power struggles for genuine playful connection.

• You’re looking to find your village of like-minded parents who value attuned, respectful parenting.
