What if “bad behavior” is actually a sensory reaction? 🌿

Last week at BakerRipley Head Start, we trained teachers on TBRI® Empowering Principles focusing on what’s really happening underneath big emotions. When adults understand regulation, everything changes.

We’re also incredibly grateful to welcome our newest counselor, Sherrie Ervin, who will begin seeing clients March 1 🩷💙

Sherrie brings a warm, person-centered, and creative approach to therapy. She has experience in Child-Centered Play Therapy, mindfulness and DBT skills, and trauma-informed care. She’s passionate about helping children express big feelings, teens navigate hard seasons, and adults rebuild with hope especially families impacted by substance use and recovery.

Her heart is simple: that every client feels seen, respected and supported. And we’re so thankful she’s part of the Happy Camper family.

Your nervous system deserves a break.

Not a workout.
Not another thing to accomplish.
Not self-improvement.
Just presence.

Scaffolding is a developmental parenting approach that helps children build independence, step by step.

Instead of expecting kids to “just know,” scaffolding means meeting them where they are, offering support based on their current skills and experience and gradually stepping back as confidence grows.

Whether it’s folding a shirt, managing emotions, or learning new routines, independence depends on experience, not pressure.

This approach is especially powerful for children with anxiety, trauma histories, or developmental differences.

At Happy Camper Child and Family Therapy, we support families using child-centered, trauma-informed care that honors development and builds lifelong skills.

Last Saturday meant more than you know💙🩷

To every adult who showed up…
To every person who chose a moment for themselves…
To every parent who trusted us with your presence…
Thank you.

What we witnessed wasn’t just an event, it was a third space in action: a gathering outside the demands of home and work where adults could simply be, together, grounded and present.

We saw laughter, conversation, curiosity and connection and it reminded us exactly why we create these spaces.

At Happy Camper, we’re builders of intentional third spaces rooted in community, presence and holistic well-being.

Thank you for spending your Saturday with us. If you were there, drop a 🌳 below so we can say hi again and you can always explore more Third Spaces events for adults here:

We can’t wait to gather again soon.

Most parents don’t realize how much healing can happen through play.

When children feel safe, seen and understood, change happens naturally without pressure or force.🩷💙

What if healing looked like play in the forest? 🌲

At Happy Camper Child & Family Therapy, we don’t just talk play therapy for children, we live it. Because some of the deepest breakthroughs happen outside the walls of a room, with sunshine on your face and sticks in your hands.

We offer:
🟩 Child-Centered Play Therapy - helping your child express feelings naturally
🟩 Sand Tray Therapy - a powerful way to explore emotion through symbolic play

Play is your child’s language. We’re here to help them be heard. 🩷💙

If your child could explain their feelings, they probably already would.

Play therapy gives children a safe way to express what feels too big, confusing, or overwhelming, through toys, stories and imagination.

Play isn’t a distraction from healing. It is the healing 💙🩷

Is your child trying to communicate through play? You might be missing the message. 🧸✨

Happy International Play Therapy Week!

You don’t need to fix your child to support their emotional growth. One of the most powerful parenting tools is child-led play, letting your child play without correcting, rushing, or analyzing.

Through play, children develop emotional regulation, confidence, communication skills and mental wellness. Your presence creates safety and safety supports healthy child development.

Presence builds safety. Safety builds growth. 🌱

🧸✨ Happy International Play Therapy Week! ✨🧸

To a child, a toy can say what words can’t.

In play therapy, toys become powerful tools for communication, helping children express big emotions, process experiences and build healthy relationships in ways that feel safe, natural and familiar. 🧩

What looks like “just play” is actually deep emotional work, supporting emotional regulation, confidence and healing at a child’s own pace.

This week, we celebrate the power of play and the incredible impact of child-centered, evidence-based play therapy on children’s mental health and emotional well-being 🌱

Big feelings don’t fit into little bodies and that’s okay.

When emotions feel overwhelming, children don’t “act out”… they communicate the only way they know how: through play.

This International Play Therapy Week, we celebrate the magic of play, where children feel safe enough to express, explore and heal at their own pace. 🧸

Play therapy helps children
✨ regulate big emotions
✨ build confidence and trust
✨ feel seen, heard and understood

Because healing doesn’t always come from words, sometimes it comes from toys, imagination and a safe space to just be 🌱

Happy International Play Therapy Week 💙🩷
