Who we are
Families Who Play is a community for families who want to feel closer, one small moment at a time.
Play isn't just something kids do to pass the time. It's how they process big feelings, build trust, and learn that they're safe with you. Families Who Play exists to make that kind of connection easy to find, even on your busiest days.
Samantha Dunaway is a mother of three and a licensed play professional. She knows what it's like to want to connect with your kids and not know where to start, or to not have the energy for one more thing on the list. Families Who Play grew out of that experience: real tools, grounded in play therapy, that take minutes instead of hours.
This space is for families with kids of any age, from toddlers to teens. If you're looking for something simple to try tonight, you'll find it here. Every game, conversation starter, and reflection is built on the same idea: you don't need to be a perfect parent. You just need a few good ways to show up.
If your family could use more support than an app can offer, I'd love to help.
