Your role, as parent or guardian, is vital in the the process of helping your child to grow healthier and fulfill his or her potential. You will be providing essential information about your child's past and present capabilites and challenges. You will discuss the goals you have in mind for your child's succesful outcome. You will be responsible for bringing your child to therapy consistently. Parent consultations are scheduled at regular intervals in order to assess your child's progress, exchange feedback regarding any changes taking place in your child's behavior or mood, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
A WORD ABOUT FILIAL THERAPY
Sometimes, it is helpful for parents to become directly involved in play therapy by learning how to conduct play sessions at home. This is known as Filial Family Therapy. Parents are trained and supervised in the use of basic CCPT skills. Using these skills can be a powerful way to connect parent and child in ways that can be appreciated in and outside of their special playtime. |
