We ensure that each child’s fundamental needs are being seen-to and they’re being heard and their expectations are being met. We practice self-regulation together; we identify feelings and utilize breathing strategies.
Our centre is designed to feel like home. We provide tools and a safe place to process and understand complex emotions. We’re committed to helping as many children as we can because studies show that seventy percent of mental health problems have their onset during childhood or adolescence. We have a tendency to think our children are doing just fine, even when they may be suffering.
Social Skills Training.
While there’s no perfect way to parent, there are ways AERCS can help mitigate the risk of mental health problems in our children and adolescents. Book an appointment today and we’ll design your child’s play-based therapy session based on their individual needs. When we play together, children are in their most comfortable element, and they feel like they’re safe and can trust us. This gives them the confidence to be vulnerable and express themselves more completely.
Each session will be with a Therapist (MSW, CRPO) and assisted by Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE) to help your child to feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
Expert Play Therapy in Toronto.
AERCS play therapy in Toronto is a type of treatment that focuses on children. Because kids may not be able to analyze their feelings or express problems to their significant adults, this is a concern. While it may appear to be just another game, our play therapy for Toronto people may be much more.
Playing time could be used by a skilled therapist to monitor and acquire insight into the child’s problems. Next, the therapist may assist the child in discovering emotions and coping with underlying trauma. Learners can understand new coping methods as well as how to redirect undesirable behaviors through play.
Our play therapists pay special attention to how a kid reacts when removed from his or her parent, how kids play individually, and how they behave when the caregiver returns. How a youngster engages with various sorts of toys and how they evolve from session to session can reveal a lot. They may use play to express their concerns and anxieties, as a calming tool, or to heal and resolve issues.
Perfect Child Support by Our Play Therapy Program.
Our children’s play therapy program is similar to adult conversation therapy. Play is an integral element of a children’s future and is a typical part of childhood. When youngsters are unable to find the right words to convey their thoughts, AERCS therapists utilize play therapy programs to assist them to explain what is bothering them. Toys are just like the child’s language in play therapy and playing is the kid’s language. During our play therapy program sessions, the therapist and child create a pleasant and trusting relationship, which provides a secure emotional experience that is important for healing.
Our expert therapists can use play to help children acquire more helpful actions, comprehend their emotions, and get insight into resolving internal issues. Children are taught self-control, consciousness, how to share their emotions, problem-solving, communication skills, and how to adjust problem behaviors through our play therapy programs. The play therapy program at AERCS is good for children from 3 to 11 years old and can be used to deal with all kinds of concerns.
