THERAPLAY THERAPY
WHAT IS THERAPLAY THERAPY?
Theraplay is a structured form of play therapy specifically for children and parents. Theraplay therapy is aimed at addressing the child’s behavioural, emotional or developmental issues by improving the parent-child relationship. Therapy includes interactive, playful, fun games and tender, nurturing activities between family and child.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THERAPLAY THERAPY?
Theraplay therapy’s aim is to enhance self-esteem, attachment, trust and joyful interaction between child and parent. Sessions are typically structured to include fun, personal, physical and interactive activities that replicate the normal, healthy and natural interactions between children and parents. Children are generally referred for Theraplay therapy for a wide variety of problems, including; aggression, anxiety, depression, separation anxiety, social difficulties, attachment difficulties, trauma and bereavement, oppositional behaviour, difficulty socializing and making friends.
Children also are specifically referred for behaviour and interpersonal problems resulting from learning disabilities, developmental issues, and developmental disorders, including Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, Encopresis, Enuresis, Bipolar Behaviour and Autism. Because Theraplay therapy focuses on attachment and building relationships, Theraplay has been used often as a method of therapy for adoptive and foster care families.
