In this 2-hour mini-workshop, parents of children ages 10 and under will learn the basic principles and be introduced to the techniques that play therapists use to establish a warm, accepting environment in which children feel safe to communicate and grow. Play therapy has been shown to be effective in treating behavioral problems stemming from major life changes such as grief, divorce, abuse, and trauma, as well as disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, social delays, and learning disabilities. 

What You'll Learn

​​

  • How to put together a play therapy kit

  • How to communicate in a way that encourages growth and establishes a trusting relationship

  • How to set firm limits and discipline without resorting to yelling or spanking

  • How to interpret different play themes to better understand what your child is trying to say

  • How to apply play therapy skills to other areas of life in order to permanently improve the parent-child relationship

​

**This is a mini-workshop, so topics will be covered at an introductory level only.**
