Overview
Every kid needs horseplay! Roughhousing is an essential part of childhood developmentābut 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.
Ā
Drawing from gymnastics, martial arts, ballet, team sports, and even animal behavior, the authors present fun full-contact Ā 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, youāll build a foundation for a lifetime of enriching physical play.
Previously published as The Art of Roughhousing, this updated edition incorporates new child development research and addresses the changing role of screen time.
