We Wrote a Book!

Parents who come to DC Play Therapy always want to know, “What can I do at home to help?” The answer is exactly what you would guess we’d say— Play. While we know you can’t always be available to play with your kids, we also know that play is how children share and process their feelings.

When you do spend time with your children, we bet that you want to make the most of it. That’s why we put together this resource for therapists and parents. We play TONS of games at DC Play Therapy and wanted to put some of them into a book so that you can use some of them at home as well. Christine, our founder, put together some of her favorite activities, and now it’s available for purchase on Amazon!

If you’re a therapist, this book should have some fresh ideas for your sessions, and if you’re a parent, it has some activities that are easy to put together with items that you probably have at home already. We hope you find something helpful in it. If you get the book and you have questions on how to tweak the activities for you and your little one, leave a comment and we’ll give you some more ideas.
