@bapt.infoThe therapeutic power of toys in the playroom - tea party toys.
Who is invited? Kids set the rules. Sometimes everyone is welcome. Sometimes someone is left out. There might be disagreements, spills, demands for more cake or a guest who doesn't want to join in! That’s #PlayTherapy

@bapt.infoThe Therapeutic Power of Toys in #PlayTherapy:
#BoardGames can offer opportunities to explore frustration, flexibility, decision-making, turn-taking, mastery and relationships, while also sharing moments of fun and connection.
@bapt.info#WorldSmileDay
Children may smile when they're happy, but also when they're nervous, unsure, uncomfortable or trying to manage big feelings.
In the playroom, there is space for all emotions. Children don't need to be happy, cheerful or smiling to be accepted.

Finding Balance in a Season of Change 🍁
Today marks the day of perfect balance where day and night are of equal length. For many children, September is a whirlwind of adjustments: new classrooms, new expectations, and changing routines. Balance is hard.
@bapt.infoThe Therapeutic Power of Toys in #PlayTherapy - the toy telephone 📞
If you step into a non-directive play therapy room, you will almost always find a toy telephone. It looks simple, but to a child, it is a powerful tool for processing big feelings and complex relationships.
