Episode 135 - Inspiring Games for Connection & Cooperation with Suzanne Thijs

This episode of my podcast is a beautiful conversation with Suzanne Thijs, from the Netherlands. Suzanne is an Aware Parenting Instructor and mother to two sons aged 4 and 7 and a stepdaughter aged 23. She offers training and courses for professionals working with children through her business Kinders Academie in Netherlands. In this episode, Suzanne shares her journey with Aware Parenting and Attachment Play. She shares some of the many games she has found to be helpful with her boys for the challenges of parenting, for supporting them with fears and how to bring more connection through play. We talk about finding inspiration to play when we are feeling exhausted. She shares examples of how to support children through understanding their behaviour and then eliciting cooperation through play, in her home and her workplace. We talk about bringing play and fun to ourselves as parents.
