''Replays is a wonderful, clearly accessible, resource that integrates contemporary play-based practices to directly address problematic behavior in children. Levine and Chedd clearly demonstrate how a child's partners are best able to support a child's emotional regulation through responsive, respectful and fun 'replays' of problematic experiences, thus reducing or preventing strong emotional reactions. Replays is a 'must-have' resource for both parents and professionals.'' - Barry M.
