Pause, Play ConnectⓇ for Professionals working with Children and Parents

As professionals, if we want to empower stressed-out parents to take action and enjoy playing and connecting with their child, the last thing we want them to feel is confusion, judgment, and overwhelm.

However our most vulnerable and stressed-out parents are often overloaded and:

-Don’t want to commit to long programs.

-Don’t see the point of play.

This is why we need something SIMPLE, MEMORABLE and ACTIONABLE if we want to see families and communities transformed.

This is why Debi John, the ‘play pollinator’ and consultant, has developed the Pause, Play ConnectⓇ Flow.

Pause, Play ConnectⓇ Flow is a simple framework for you to incorporate into your existing work with families.

This groundbreakingly versatile Pause, Play ConnectⓇ framework inspires parents and carers to play with their children in a modern and memorable way.

‘84% of children want to spend more time playing with their parents,’ (Lego Foundation 2022,) yet this course provides the alternative of adding to parent guilt by telling parents to ‘play more.’

This is your opportunity to reframe the universal language of play by helping parents to PAUSE and understand the blocks associated with play.

“Permission to

play your way.”

(Debi John)

Help parents to PAUSE and understand that they’re not just ‘playing games’ with their child.

As children feel safer, seen, and soothed through attachment PLAY, children feel calmer, concentration increases and a sense of joy is restored.

Presently, the Pause, Play ConnectⓇ Flow has been used in the UK, Poland, Armenia and Portugal with parents from an extensive range of cultural and economic backgrounds including Ukrainian refugees and Corporate executives from some of the top London firms.

The Pause, Play ConnectⓇ Flow, helps parents to understand the relationship with their own stress levels and their ability to play.

“After just one session we have seen behavioural changes in the children as parents learn about mindfulness and attunement.”

The modern and eye-catching training resources use universal symbols that are understood across many cultures...

”Everyone’s got a phone, they know what pause means…” (Sarah, OT working out in Armenia)

Coaches are discovering this training too and incorporating it into their work:

“Working with Debi has been such an absolute pleasure! She has really helped me to bring more play into my life and coaching work, but most importantly has helped me to better understand how vital it is to pause first. I feel like I am more playful myself, with my children, and with my clients in our sessions and with the work they do between sessions. Consider me pollinated! Thank you.” Chloe, NLP Coach

After the Pause, Play, ConnectⓇ Training, parents feel empowered and are often ready to engage in other programs after seeing such quick results. This flow bridges the gap between your existing parenting courses in a modern and agile way.

Start the new academic year off with equipped and enthused staff able to support struggling parents now.
