We often try really hard to TEACH our kids and though that can be effective at times playful interventions are hands down the most successful ways to enhance learning or processing of emotions. Narratives, like in a good story, are stored in different parts of the brain, a more experiential imaginative part! By selecting good stories that address important things, issues, emotions, and challenges our children can learn by hearing/reading much faster than traditional methods! Here are a few of our favorites! Happy reading and playing! We hope you have enjoyed celebrating International Play Therapy Week 2026 with us!

International Play Therapy Week, C&R style 🥞🍳

At Connect + Restore, play isn’t just something that happens in the therapy room.
It lives in connection, shared moments, laughter, and yes… pancakes in the break room.

This morning was fueled by joy, teamwork, and our very own staff chefs 😉

Because play therapy is about creating safety through relationship.
And sometimes that starts with breakfast together.

Happy International Play Therapy Week 🎈
Let’s keep finding ways to play, connect, and restore. 💛

🎉 International Play Therapy Week at Connect + Restore 🎉

✨ Keeping it PLAYFUL ✨

Because at C&R… we FLIP for play therapy. 🥞

This morning, we celebrated the power of play with pancakes and eggs in the break room, lovingly made by our very own staff chefs. 😉

Play therapy is not just about toys or games. It’s about connection, regulation, creativity, and creating safety through joy. Sometimes that looks like play in the therapy room… and sometimes it looks like breakfast together and a little laughter before the day begins.

Play fuels connection.
Play supports healing.
Play belongs at every age.

Happy International Play Therapy Week 🎈
Let’s keep finding ways to play, connect, and restore not just today, but everyday. 💛

Mirror, mirror...what is an important dynamic in healing? The sense that someone is with you and willing to hear what it’s like. We highly recommend this video on Mirror Neurons to better understand how to help our kiddos feel understood AND so you understand another important piece in why play is essential in treating children, teens, and EVEN adults!

🐾💛 Happy National Golden Retriever Day! 💛🐾

At Connect + Restore, our office is a little extra golden today because we are lucky enough to have three Golden Retrievers who help make this space feel safe, warm, and welcoming.

Ellie, Dexter, and Aslan 🐶✨
These three bring more than wagging tails and sweet smiles. They offer calm presence, unconditional connection, and gentle moments of regulation that words alone cannot always provide.

Whether it is a quiet sit nearby, a reassuring nuzzle, or a joyful hello, our goldens remind us daily that healing happens through connection and sometimes through fur and four paws.

Today we celebrate our golden helpers and the comfort, joy, and regulation they bring to our community. 💛🐾

Check out the “Parents Corner” on the Association for Play Therapy’s website for resources, articles, and other helpful tidbits on helping support your child in play and to understand the importance of identifying therapists with specialized training in working with children!

Did you know that there are 20 identified therapeutic powers of play or core agents? Everything from self-expression to social competence, resiliency to self-regulation, even stress inoculation & self-esteem are linked to children who have rich play lives supported. Play IS itself, the source of change.

Its that time of year again! In honor of ‘International Play Therapy Week’ the staff at Connect and Restore would like to give you peeks, each day into the many ways that play enhances the therapeutic space and paves the way for healing, growth, learning, regulation, mastery, connection and much more!
