Go play
I was a foster parent for years. The one thing a therapist said to me about one of my kiddos was “she just needs to go play”. The section on Emotion Volcano Freeze Dance was one of her favorites; especially when she could do this with friends. Kids love it when parents play too. The kids don’t even know that they are doing therapy. I recommend this book to foster parents and other caregivers.

Brilliant
This was a wonderful book explaining how to integrate therapeutic techniques and strategies into children’s play. As a former Child Develpment teacher, I know a kids job is play. That’s how they find out about the world around them. It only makes perfect sense to incorporate these special learning experiences. Techniques and exercises are include and they’re easy to integrate into plans.
