In this episode, Kristie and Maggie explore common struggles of play therapists, students, and supervisees as to how to engage with children in a wide range of ages using Child Centered theory. Many people believe they must change out of child centered theory to engage with older children. Kristie and Maggie explore how they adapt their use of Child Centered to meet the needs of different developmental levels and how they assess when to adapt. This episode can be helpful for play therapists who are working with older children and are not sure how to engage, as well as for parents and teachers who may not be aware of different developmental needs of children across developmental levels.
