Welcome back to another episode in a series of conversations about Attachment Play. In this episode I am talking with Rebecca Sheikh, who is a level 2 aware parenting instructor and the regional coordinator for aware parenting in UK, Ireland and Sub-Saharan Africa.
In this episode we talk about how to better understand children's behaviour so we can then use attachment play in order to support them to be their naturally cooperative selves. We share some of the ways we have used play in our families to support greater connection and healing. Rebecca shares a powerful activity to support our younger parts in relation to offering attachment play. She offers suggestions for how to find playfulness at times when we are feeling overwhelmed and not having capacity to play. We talk about the importance of laughter and fun for us as parents.
