Play Therapy Northern Territory

Play Therapy Northern Territory Children's Play Therapy Play Therapy is the least intrusive form of counseling for children. Thus it is to children what talk therapy is to adults.

Play is a child's way of communicating; they use the toys as a medium to express issues and emotion that children struggle to find words for. Sometimes children do not understand the deep meaning that many words hold so therefore cannot express their problems to the extent that they need to, to heal. As adults we tend to talk away our fears and anxieties to other adults, at which point we feel relieved and understood, children if in given the time and space play anyway their fears in the same process.

When screens feel unavoidable
So many parents tell me they feel torn between “protecting childhood” and “keeping up with the world”. Screen guidance can feel confusing, conflicting, and frankly overwhelming.

When you want something simple
The 3-6-9-12 Rule, created by French psychiatrist Serge Tisseron, cuts through the noise with clear, age-appropriate milestones that help support a child’s developing brain.

When brain development comes first
Young children need hands-on play, language, relationships, movement and co-regulation far more than they need digital stimulation. This rule puts those needs back at the centre.

When boundaries build safety
It’s not about fear or shame. It’s about scaffolding digital independence slowly, with connection and supervision in place until a child can cope with the online world.

When families need flexibility
It isn’t a rigid rulebook. It’s a framework. A starting point. A way to reflect on what’s developmentally right for your child, in your home, at your pace.

When you want practical support
If screen battles are an ongoing stressor, my behaviour and emotional regulation toolkits offer step-by-step scripts, routines and strategies. Link in comments below ⬇️ or via Linktree Shop in Bio.
