Playful Beginnings

Adapting CPRT and CCPT for Toddlers: Featuring Dr. Mary Bennett


Listen Later

🎙️ New Episode of Playful Beginnings! 🎉 This week, we’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Mary Bennett to explore how we can thoughtfully adapt Child–Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) and Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) for toddlers. 👶💛

Toddlers learn, connect, and express themselves differently—and their play therapy should reflect that. Dr. Bennett walks us through how to meet toddlers right where they are with shorter sessions, simpler language, sensory-rich play, and extra co-regulation from caregivers and therapists.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or play therapist, this episode offers practical guidance to help you support toddlers’ big emotions, growing brains, and emerging relationships through developmentally attuned play.

A must-listen for anyone working with our smallest (and mightiest!) humans. ✨🧸
