Explore the Role of Play in Healing Emotional Wounds. Discover how therapeutic play can address deep-seated emotional challenges in children.
Parents and caregivers are the child’s first teachers, and much of this learning happens implicitly through repetitive patterns and interactions which are so critical to the building blocks of the personality. We will have a mix of theory, experiential activities and discussion to increase our understanding of how parents and others who care for children can increase their secure attachment and emotional resiliency.
