  • 115 Using Art To Intimately Connect With Your Children With Reina Lombardi
    Reina Lombardi of Florida Art Therapy Services, LLC believes that one of the best approaches to build trust in parent child relationships is through creative playful activities. Art and play are the language of childhood- the way a child develops an understanding of their world. This is universal. Kids without access to traditional art materials will find ways to create using natural elements. Arts based activities tap into the child's naturally curious predisposition and provide opportunities for experiential learning. Most kids love the chance to use their hands, practice new skills, and make a mess. Creating art together, or engaging in cooperative creative tasks, facilitate active engagement with one another. We have to actively communicate with one another, which builds rapport. Additionally, children learn general skills important for social and emotional regulation.
