What should I expect when bringing my child to play therapy? Is play therapy actually different than regular play? Play therapy is a powerful therapeutic approach used to support children's emotional, social, and psychological well-being through nonverbal expression and release. Play therapy provides a safe and non-directive space for children to express themselves, explore and process their feelings, and work through challenges through play. The toys used in play therapy typically fall into one of the following three categories: creative expression materials, real-life toys, and aggression toys. Watch this video for a full explanation and specific tips you can implement at home: https://youtu.be/y4OMWRuGj9A For more information about Play Therapy, refer to "Play Therapy" by Garry L. Landreth or "Child Parent Relationship Therapy" by Garry L. Landreth and Sue C. Bratton.

Building a strong bond with my child, one moment at a time ❤️ As a parent, one of my top priorities is to build a strong and loving relationship with my child. Bonding with them is not only important for their development, but it also brings me so much joy and fulfillment as a parent. Whether it's playing a game, going for a walk, or simply sitting and chatting, every moment spent with my child is an opportunity to strengthen our bond. It's not always easy to find the time or energy, but I know that investing in our relationship now will pay off in the long run. I love watching my child grow and learn, and I feel grateful for every moment we spend together. It's amazing to see how much they've grown in such a short amount of time, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. If you're a parent, I encourage you to take the time to bond with your child. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or elaborate, just simple moments of connection that will build a strong foundation for your relationship. ❤️ #parenting #bondingwithmychild #familytime #buildingmemories #momlife #momblog #mommyblogger #momlove #mompage #thetrendingtwo #amayzingtot #toddlermom #bondingtime #parentingtips #parentinghappiness #raisingkids #raisingtinyhumans #raisinghappykids #momandsongoals #travelmom #happymom #momgoals

Family is the single most important influence in a child's life. From their first moments of life, children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs. Parents and family form a child's first relationships. They are a child's first teachers and act as role models in how to act and how to experience the world around them. By nurturing and teaching children during their early years, families play an important role in making sure children are ready to learn when they enter school. . . .. . . .. . . . . . . #thelittlecloud #earlyyearsteacher #kidsofindia #letsplaytheirway #raisingcreativekids #earlyyearsactivities #childrenspicturebooks #homeschoolinglife #bedtimestorytime #babiesoninstagram #childledlearning #kids #familyfun #familytime #momlife #newborn #bondingtime #familylove #momandson #mommyandme #bondingwithmychild
NEW BLOG ALERT - CHECK LINK IN BIO Tips to incorporate Learning in the form of playing with your children Einstein says- “Play is the biggest form of research.” While our kids love playing by themselves and with other kids, research has shown that parents’ playtime with kids is an integral part of their brain development. Playtime engages the entire brain (motor skills, senses, everything!) to make learning happen easier. The more variety with which a concept is introduced (different sights, smells, dances, songs, etc), the more likely it is to be retained. In today’s blog, we will discuss how we can playfully incorporate learning and strengthen the bond with our kids.

If you’re anything like me, I would often have days where I found myself only ‘telling my kids off” or giving them imperatives one after another. Sit down, brush your teeth, use your fork, clean up...... and the list goes on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having an opportunity in the evening to finally have a little conversation with my kids was a welcome relief. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s amazing what 10-15 minutes of playing with the thanx cards can do, not only for your child but for you too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Www.thanxcardsshop.com⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #timetotalk #gratitude #earlydevelopment #bondingwithmychild

My daughter chose one of my favorite flowers for her room...jasmine. These tiny flowers just started to bloom and OH MY!!!Such an amazing aroma is starting to spread. This beautiful plant right here is teaching my daughter all kinds of skills. She is learning how to listen and understand the needs of her plant. How to handle the flowers, how to water the plant so that it thrives and so much more. These skills are a necessity for an individual to be a decent human being. To know how to listen, observe, care for something or someone. #jasmine #indoorplants #loveourplant #bloomingflower #passivelearning #unschooling #careforyourplant #bondingwithmychild

You will never have this day with your kid again, tomorrow they will be a little bit older than they are today. Today is a gift, breathe and notice, smell and hold them, study their faces and little feet, and pay attention; Enjoy today Momma - it will be over before you know it.

We're celebrating Dads today! It's always good to see our Dads spending time with their little ones in the swimming pool. A lot of Dads reveal how nervous they actually are about taking their child for a swim - they are worried about getting it wrong, not having the same soft touch or patience as Mum, and don't want to feel embarrassed. But once they get over that initial fear, they realise how much fun it really is and also how beneficial it is - for both Dad & child 😀 #aquabubskl #waterconfidence #watersafety #happydads #bondingwithmychild
Teaching your child how to climb out of the pool correctly - elbow, elbow, knee, knee - is one of the techniques we focus on in every class. Maddie hasn't quite got it yet, but with practice and help from her Mum, she will 😀 #aquabubskl #babyswimming #learntoswim #bondingwithmychild #creatingwaterbabies
