Parent-Child Play Sessions

Parent and Child Play Sessions offer a rich opportunity to learn more about your child and your relationship, and deepen your connection. 

 

We begin with a parent meeting during which you identify your specific needs, hopes and goals, as well as the challenges that bring you to this growth moment.  We discuss various activities designed to address your unique situation. Together, we discuss the structure for a parent-child session, how you will introduce and invite your child to participate, and other related questions. 

 

During the parent-child session, we begin and end with some discussion, but most of the time is spent learning through play. 

 

We play to connect. We play to gain new perspectives. We play to clarify and resolve misunderstandings or misperceptions.  We play to learn new skills. We play to better understand ourselves, our child, and our relationship. 

 

Parents also find that sessions increase their capacity to be present, compassionate and responsive in previously charged situations.

​

At the conclusion of the play session, you and your child will choose one or two activities to use at home. Further play or parent consultation sessions are scheduled as needed.
