Trusting the process can feel challenging when your child is in play therapy, but remember, healing often begins where words cannot reach. Play is a child’s natural language, and through it, they can explore emotions and experiences in a safe, supportive environment. Progress may not always be immediate, but every session is a step forward—an investment in their emotional growth and resilience. Trust the journey, trust the therapist, and most importantly, trust your child’s ability to thrive

Children may try to control situations or people to seek security, express unmet needs, or imitate observed behaviour. This behaviour can stem from a desire for predictability, developing autonomy, or coping with insecurity. Addressing these underlying reasons involves providing consistent routines, encouraging healthy autonomy, validating feelings, modelling positive behaviour, setting clear boundaries, and offering positive attention. Understanding these motivations can help parents and caregivers support their children's emotional development and build positive relationships.
