I had a lot of fun out of fixing a couple of wooden child rocking chair
(originally gifted to my two grandchildren about a year before they came
apart). I used carpenter's glue, but to strengthen the joint I also added
screws (countersunk and shiny) I made a holes opposite where the crosspieces
connect and inserted screws through the wood and into the incoming
crosspieces. I did this at each place where the chair was weak or had come
apart. It took me awhile, but as a layman, I feel great that those chairs
have been solid ever since. Today, both children outgrew the chairs, but the
chairs are still there and looking good.

I hope this idea helps.
