How many of you have had this happen with play therapy clients (raise your virtual hand in the Comments) –

You greet your client in the waiting room and your client looks at you with an eager face and asks, “Can my mom/dad come with us?” 🙄 Or …

When you meet with parents for the first time and they ask you why you only meet with their child.  Why don’t they get to join the sessions?  They want to know what you’re doing with their child.  😬  Or …

You know that parents are important in play therapy because you’re a firm believer in helping children establish strong attachment relationships, so you include parents in the session with no real plan or direction and it ends up feeling awkward and doesn’t go well.

This is the ongoing dilemma in play therapy – 

Do you or don’t you include parents in play therapy sessions?

Can play therapy be successful without parent engagement and what does parent engagement look like?

Join me for this week's podcast episode. I’ll also share 5 tips for improving successful outcomes when integrating parents in play therapy.

So make sure to join us and pass on the information to your colleagues to share the love.  🤩
