In this episode, Drs. Kristie and Maggie delve deeper into the skills used in Child-Centered Play Therapy.

Choice giving is an important skill that is foundational to CCPT. With this skill, adults are demonstrating trust in the child's capacity to lead and make decisions

Choice giving in CCPT provides children the opportunity to experience personal responsibility, while demonstrating trust in their abilities, nurturing autonomy, and allowing children to experience small and manageable consequences. Choice giving allows the child to make choices for themselves and offers opportunities for emotional regulation, rather than providing direct instruction or control.
