💛 Parenting Truth:
It’s hard to notice in the moment when we respond to our child with anger.
It’s even harder to recognize that the anger is ours — not theirs — and that it often comes from something deep within us that’s been triggered by their behaviour.

But here’s the powerful part:
When we pause, say “I’m sorry,” and own that we shouldn’t have shouted… we’re teaching our children something essential — rupture and repair.
Because no one is perfect. Parenting is tough. We all carry a background, a story, and old emotions that surface unexpectedly.

So we practice:
✨ Stop
✨ Notice
✨ Own it
✨ Repair the relationship

That’s where connection grows. 💛

Adapting non-directive play therapy to meet the diverse developmental, sensory and educational needs of every child means staying attuned, flexible, and deeply respectful of each child’s unique way of engaging in play.

While the therapeutic approach remains grounded in child-led principles, the therapist’s sensitivity to developmental stages, neurodiversity, communication styles and learning differences ensures that every child can access the power of play in a way that feels safe and meaningful.

By thoughtfully adjusting our environments, pacing and materials without losing the essence of non-directivity we uphold the core belief that every child has the capacity for growth and healing when met where they are.

Through play, children make sense of their world. They explore, re-enact, and reimagine their lived experiences — transforming confusing or overwhelming moments into something they can manage, understand, and even master.

In the playroom, a BAPT Registered Play Therapist®️ provides a safe and accepting space where this process can unfold naturally. Here, children are free to express, experiment, and problem-solve — finding new ways to cope, heal, and grow through the language they know best: play.

For children, play is so much more than fun — it’s how they understand their world, process big feelings, and build the skills they need to thrive.

In Play Therapy, play becomes a safe and nurturing space where children can:
✨ Express emotions they may not have the words for, like anger, sadness, or fear.
🌱 Work through trauma or loss in a gentle, child-led way.
🧸 Build self-confidence and resilience as they discover their strengths.
🤝 Develop social skills and learn to manage relationships and conflict.
💭 Make sense of confusing experiences, from school struggles to family changes.

When children feel overwhelmed, they often show their feelings through behaviour rather than talking about them. Play Therapy gives them a voice — through toys, stories, and creativity — allowing healing to happen naturally and at their own pace.

Every play session is a small step towards healing and hope. 💛

✨ Why Play Therapists Encourage (Not Praise) ✨

💬 Praise sounds like:
👉 “I think that’s pretty.”
👉 “I think you worked hard.”

🔎 What’s the problem?
Children learn to look outside themselves for approval — doing things just to please the adult.

💬 Encouragement sounds like:
👉 “You are proud of that.”
👉 “You worked hard at that.”

🌱 Why it matters:
Encouragement builds a child’s inner voice — the belief that:
✨ “I can do this.”
✨ “I am capable.”
✨ “I am worthy.” The words we choose matter. 🌟 Encouragement builds confidence from the inside out, shaping a child’s belief in their own worth. 💖

✨ Back for a week and my heart is full ✨
It’s been so lovely seeing all the children again — shaking sand from my clothes, scrubbing paint off my shorts, and digging clay out from under my nails at the end of each day. 🌿🎨🪣

We’ve been fully immersed in play, and as always, the children know exactly what they need. Watching their confidence grow is the greatest joy. 💛
