Two-day training course – both days must be attended.

Have you ever witnessed play that feels full of emotion — perhaps role-play with other children or imaginative play with toys — sometimes leading to upset or anger, and at other times helping a child become calmer?

This practical training will help you understand what is happening within children’s play and develop confidence in responding appropriately. You’ll explore play as a way for children to think, communicate, explore and make sense of their experiences.

You will:

Build your understanding of the emotional content of play
Explore how children use play to process and understand experiences
Develop therapeutic skills to support children through play
Learn different ways to respond to and support children’s emotional expression
