#PlayTherapy

#Play is how children make sense of their world.
What may look like “just playing” is often a child:
• Exploring big feelings
• Re-enacting experiences
• Testing out relationships
• Finding ways to feel safe and in control

In play therapy, play is the child’s language.

#Vygotsky’s gr8 idea of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD):

Children don’t need to be taught or directed, instead, they are gently supported through a therapeutic relationship that meets them exactly where they are.

#NoMoreWeek

#Vygotsky - he had a theory that children learn best through relationships, social interaction, and play. He introduced the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the space between what a child can do on their own and what they can achieve with the support of a safe, attuned adult.

Erikson’s theory reminds us that children’s behaviours often reflect underlying developmental needs. When we respond with attunement, consistency and acceptance,children can move forward with a stronger sense of safety, confidence and identity.

#NationalLoveYourPetDay

#WorldCareDay - recognition of children and young people with care experience. The day shines a light on their voices, raises awareness of the realities of growing up in care, challenges harmful stereotypes, and celebrates the strengths, talents and achievements of young people in care.

#JeanPiaget
By applying Piaget's stages, #PlayTherapists can create a "developmentally appropriate" environment, ensuring that the toys and activities provided meet the child where they are, facilitating a natural process of discovery and healing.

#HappyPancake day to all the children who celebrate!
Children often bring cultural or religious days or events to their #PlayTherapy sessions. They may play out different events and experiences to gain understanding and reflect on outcomes that have an impact on their daily life and wellbeing.

#RandomActsOfKindnessDay
Lovely to do kind things and apparently research suggests that doing kind things can bring physical and mental benefits to the person being kind. Win-Win.
