#AutumnEquinox #PlayTherapy Finding Balance in a Season of Change 🍁 Today marks the day of perfect balance where day and night are of equal length. For many children, September is a whirlwind of adjustments: new classrooms, new expectations, and changing routines. Balance is hard.

The Therapeutic Power of Toys in #PlayTherapy - the toy telephone 📞 If you step into a non-directive play therapy room, you will almost always find a toy telephone. It looks simple, but to a child, it is a powerful tool for processing big feelings and complex relationships.

Dan Hughes’ Cloak of Confidence reminds us that it’s okay not to have all the answers. Our children don’t need perfect parents. They need safe, connected parents who are willing to be curious and learn alongside them. #Parenting #Attachment #ConnectedParenting #JogoBehaviourSupport

The therapeutic Power of Toys in #PlayTherapy - Baby Dolls 👶 In the hands of a child, dolls become something much bigger: a powerful tool for emotional expression and healing. As BAPT play therapists, watching how a child interacts with a baby doll gives us deep insight into their inner world.

Happy #NationalTeddyBearDay To a child, a teddy bear can represent a vital transitional object. Coined by pediatrician and psychoanalyst #DonaldWinnicott, a #TransitionalObject bridges the gap between the familiar safety of a primary caregiver and the big, unfamiliar outer world.

BAPT British Association Of Play Therapists @bapt.info · 29/08/2026

🌱 In My Play Therapy, Do I Really Just Play and Not Talk? 🌱 Your #PlayTherapist understands that play is a way of communicating too. You don't need to explain what your play means. You don't have to answer lots of questions. And you don't have to talk about difficult things before you're ready.

011

BAPT British Association Of Play Therapists @bapt.info · 27/08/2026

🌱 How Will My Play Therapy Help Me? 🌱 #PlayTherapy will help you learn more about yourself and what you need. It isn't about changing who you are. It's about helping you understand yourself, your feelings and your experiences — and finding ways to make things feel easier.

#playtherapy information for children Play therapy isn't a secret but your therapist keeps sessions private unless safety is at risk. You choose what to share with others. Grown-ups might ask, but you don’t have to share. It is your safe space to control.

BAPT British Association Of Play Therapists @bapt.info · 23/08/2026

#PlayTherapy Information for children “Your play therapy is private and safe. Your therapist won't share your play or words with anyone. They only give general updates to your grown-ups. The only exception: If they worry about the safety of you or someone else, they must tell an adult to help you.”

BAPT British Association Of Play Therapists @bapt.info · 21/08/2026

🌱 Why Might I Go to #PlayTherapy? 🌱 Information for children: Play Therapists provide a safe, no-judgement space to explore feelings at your own pace, through play, art, and stories. They listen to what matters to you, and you decide how to spend your time—with no pressure to talk. 💚

This is your reminder that your exam results do not define you. It's okay to feel disappointed if you didn't get the grades you wanted today. There are so many routes to get to where you want to be. Well done for getting here.

🌱 Why Might I Go to #PlayTherapy? 🌱 Information for children: Sometimes it can be really hard to explain what you're thinking or feeling. In Play Therapy, you don't have to sit in a chair and answer lots of questions. Your Play Therapist is specially trained to understand children's play.

Information for children - What is a #PlayTherapist? “A Play Therapist won't tell you what you should play or make you talk about something before you're ready. They are there to listen, notice and understand, and to give you a safe space where you can play, explore, create and be yourself.”

#BAPT Registration - Core Competencies. Competent practice involves more than providing toys and allowing a child to play. Therapists need to integrate their understanding of child development, attachment and relationships, therapeutic processes, communication, assessment, safeguarding and more.

BAPT British Association Of Play Therapists @bapt.info · 15/08/2026

Ethical Standards #PlayTherapy Children may communicate experiences, emotions and relationships through their play that they are not yet able, ready or willing to express in words. The therapeutic relationship therefore needs to be built on trust, safety, respect and clear ethical standards.
