Description
Do you struggle with children?
- Are aggressive and defiant?
- Wreck your treatment room and waste your materials?
- Act chaotic, silly and/or will not sit still?
- Refuse to talk and are disengaged?
- Behave inappropriately (oppositional, controlling, avoid eye contact)?
Are you frustrated with parents who won’t listen to you? Are parents resentful and dissatisfied with you, as well as their child? You need to watch this seminar if you answered yes to any of the above. I will show you evidence-based activities to break through resistance and harness the power of the child-parent relationship to make rapid and dramatic changes.
Theraplay can transform children who are resistant, traumatized, dysregulated, and hard to manage into a calmer, more cooperative child in a matter of minutes. Theraplay can be used to create an atmosphere where children are happy to come to therapy.
Theraplay involves parents in an immediate and positive way, giving them experiences of success and pride in their children, so they can feel motivated to support them. Positive and lasting change can be achieved with the child, the parent, and the therapist all on the same team.
