✨ Thank You ✨

A heartfelt thank you to all the parents and caregivers who joined us for our very first online parent workshop tonight 💛

It was so special to share this space with you—exploring the power of play, connection, and understanding your child’s world through a child-centred lens. Your openness, curiosity, and willingness to show up for your children is truly meaningful.

We hope you walked away with some simple, practical tools you can start using right away—and a reminder that connection doesn’t have to be complicated.

At Curious Box Play Therapy, we feel so grateful to be part of your parenting journey.

If you couldn’t make it this time, keep an eye out—we’ll be running more sessions soon!

💫 Thank you again for being part of our very first workshop.

• Supporting regulation and co-regulation
• Responding to behaviours with confidence and connection
• Building stronger, more secure relationships
• Practical, play-based strategies you can use at home

This is a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space grounded in Child-Centred Play Therapy principles — no pressure, no perfection, just real support.

✨ Saying Goodbye in the Playroom ✨

Goodbyes in the playroom are never rushed… they are held with care, intention, and meaning.

In Child-Centred Play Therapy, endings are just as important as beginnings. They are part of the therapeutic process — a chance to reflect, to celebrate growth, and to gently prepare for what comes next.

As we move toward a child’s final session, we don’t just “end” — we count down together.
We talk about it.
We make space for feelings.
We plan something special for that last day.

Because goodbyes can bring up a mix of emotions — pride, sadness, excitement, even uncertainty — and all of those feelings are welcome here 🤍

Today, we celebrated one of our wonderful clients as they finished their play therapy journey.
There were special treats, a small gift, and a moment to honour just how far they’ve come.

These moments matter.

They help children experience that relationships can be safe…
that endings can be gentle…
and that they can carry what they’ve learned with them into the world beyond the playroom 🌿

At Curious Box, we don’t just say goodbye —
we hold it, honour it, and make it meaningful.

✨ Growing the Way We Show Up ✨

Last week, Emily and Dawn attended a workshop: The Way of Being through the Queensland Institute of Play Therapy as part of their play therappy training.

A beautiful space of reflection, learning, and leaning into that “comfortably uncomfortable” place — where real growth and therapeutic change begin. 🌿

We are grateful to be part of this ever-growing play therapy community and the ripple it creates for the children and families we support. 💛

Emily and Mercia had a wonderful evening at the QIPT social event, connecting with fellow play therapists and sharing in the joy of community. It was such a lovely opportunity to unwind, laugh, and reflect on the meaningful work we all do supporting children and families through play. 💛

Being surrounded by others who are passionate about play therapy reminds us how important connection, collaboration, and ongoing learning are in this field. We’re grateful to be part of such a supportive professional community.

Here’s to more moments of connection, playful conversations, and continuing to grow together. 🎈
