We have discontinued the Play 101 course, as the material has been thoughtfully integrated into two of our more comprehensive and updated courses: Play & Attachment and Play & Emotion.
These courses go deeper, reflect the latest understanding from Dr. Neufeld’s work, and offer a richer exploration of how play serves development and emotional well-being.
If you were interested in Play 101, we recommend enrolling in one of the courses below

Whether you're a parent, educator, or helping professional, our courses are designed to deepen your understanding of children — and yourself — through the lenses of today’s sciences of attachment, emotion and development.
All courses are grounded in Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s attachment-based developmental approach.
