Young children most often share their inner world with us through play, rather than by using their words to tell us about their thoughts, fears, and deep feelings. The therapist allows the child choices about how they participate in the therapeutic process, including how much they talk versus play, what they play, and how much time their parent(s) spend in the room with them. The therapist provides cues of safety to the child and works through the therapeutic relationship to help the child believe in their own worth.
It is important for parents to be involved in the therapy process along with their children. This will include some times when the parent(s) will meet with the therapist along with their child as well as times when the parent will meet with the therapist alone. Parent involvement helps the child and parent see progress more quickly in the home.
