Have you ever wondered why some parenting moments seem like complete disasters and others are treasures you want to remember forever? This parenting guide breaks the mold of the dry tomes gathering dust on most parents' nightstands. By providing a unique, first-person perspective that gives the reader options to explore different choices and experience different outcomes, Adventures in Parenting: The Playdate is the first in a series of books that combines entertaining, interactive fiction with real-world expertise from a licensed, clinical child psychologist.

In this story, parents will find themselves in familiar shoes as they navigate the playdate pitfalls of new faces, new places, and vastly different parenting styles. The goal is simple-- entertain the reader and empower the parent. The reality is there are many viable parenting methods to choose from. With 15 different endings (each with its own "post-game" analysis from Dr. Rob), our approach invites parents to take chances, make mistakes, and learn how to influence good and bad outcomes over time.

We believe this approach has the stickiness to reach parents in all phases--from early childhood through adolescence and beyond. In short, there's no shortage of material to engage and educate parents in a way that helps them grow along with their children.
