- craving to have fun with your child and connecting deeper with them?

- willing to help them navigate their emotions with play and compassionate space holding?

- willing to help your child release frustration in a non-hurtful way so he’s less aggressive and has less tantrums?

TESTIMONIALS:

Manon, your workshop has been life changing for us.

We truly value the games you’ve taught us. I’ve adapted some of them and even created a few to suit our needs!

I’m so grateful for your workshop.

You’ve really shown me how to be more fun with my girls and I’ve seen such a shift in A.’s general behaviour!! She has been so much happier and she’s now (mainly) co-operative. She’s behaving better with her little sister too now.

Also, I’m so much calmer. If she starts throwing a tantrum, I approach it differently now and it’s much better.

A. is thriving. Our parenting is better. Life is more fun.

Thank you!

I can only recommend Manon’s workshop: engaging, fun, informative, it has helped me so much with my daughters! Our home is now so much more fun, light and uplifting, with light-heartedness replacing frustration and defeat. Thank you so, so much Manon!”

I'm so glad I did Manon’s workshop "Play with Me"! My daughter and I are loving playing the games and I feel like our relationship is growing stronger and I feel more calm and confident in my role as a mother because I know that there is always a game we can play together for any tricky situation that comes up. I have Manon's notes printed out and both me and my husband use it as a go-to manual whenever there is a situation that we're not sure how to fix. I no longer feel the need to use punishments or rewards and it's also very good training for me to let my inner child out and to stay present with my daughter. Thank you so much Manon for making my family calmer and happier.

Manon's workshop is fun, interactive and easy to follow.

I finished the workshop feeling armed with a new found love for play and couldn't wait to try some of the games with my 2.5yo.

Instantly I saw a change in her behaviour thanks to Manon's tips and game ideas.

I now feel confident that I can help my daughter grow in a fun and peaceful environment and be the Mum I've always wanted to! She has literally changed my outlook on parenting a 2 year old!!

I highly recommend Manon's workshop to any parent!!

Thanks again Manon.

I have already tried a few games with my daughter and despite her not napping today we have had a wonderful afternoon where it would usually be a lot of tears and anger (from both of us!)!

I have done the "Play with Me!" Workshop and would highly recommend it to all caregivers seeking a gentle, respectful way to connect, understand and communicate with their children.

Manon’s deep authenticity and nurturing nature bring such depth to the rich and fun content she shares...

We immediately tried implementing some of her games the morning after the workshop. One to aid with tooth brushing with my fierce almost 3 year old as we hadn’t been able to brush them for a while without tears...

What a difference!!!

Everyone was laughing, she wilfully opened her mouth for me to brush her teeth, and we got it done in a fraction of the time it normally takes, with all of us in a happy mindset.

The only downfall was that my 4 year old who normally brushes his own teeth quite independently, asked me to do the game with him too 🤣. That evening and the next morning I tried the same approach, wary that the novelty might have worn off - but again my daughter happily opened her mouth - relishing not the brushing itself, but instead anticipating this special time she was getting connecting with mummy <3

I later made up a game for washing hair in the bath, which was a success (we have three kids 4 and under in the bath at one time); and after bath time my oldest asked if I knew any games for ‘getting dried’. 😂

Manon’s gentle approach is already having a positive impact on our family and I’m so grateful to have taken this workshop. It confirmed to me that how I instinctually parent my children will nurture and strengthen our relationship; and that in those times when I am exhausted and frustrated and my ‘head’ tries to take charge, to take a step back and parent from the heart.

Wow! What an amazing workshop!

I am filled with confidence and clarity around how I can better support my three boys as we grow and learn together.

I've already put some of these games into practice and I'm blown away by the reaction of my youngest son, it’s already starting to bring more lightness and a safe refuge for him to share his feelings with me.

Thanks Manon for helping to normalise parenting and bringing an alternative, loving way to be with our beautiful children so they can grow into well adjusted, empathic adults.

The Play With Me Workshop really helped me understand my toddler and the way that he thinks and understands the world. I feel so much more at ease in my day to day parenting now! Thank you Manon for giving me the confidence to parent again! 

Tom, Minnesota

I came to the Play With Me workshop already being what I considered an aware parent and practice attachment/respectful parenting, but wow I learnt so much from Manon during that workshop! 

I feel like I have this whole new toolbox of games that I can now turn to with my girls. In those stressful situations I was still finding myself turning to old habits of reward or punishment to try to get things done as this is how I thought would get results (from my own childhood experience).

However this was a huge game changer and already that afternoon went home and started implementing some games with my eldest girl.

Will be forever grateful for what you shared with us, I feel even more empowered and look forward to peaceful parenting with my babies!"

Thanks again for a wonderful workshop!
