From an attachment theory standpoint, structure is an important part of parenting.

It helps children understand relationship boundaries, protects them from possible harm, provides a sense of safety and order, and allows them to understand how actions impact them and others.

How we provide structure is very important - Not too rigid and not too loose. Just right structure is the 🔑to success.

This is also true when providing play therapy to children and their families.

One of the biggest reasons I find that play therapists get lost and frustrated, especially when working with parents is 👇

they have not fully identified their expectations for how their play therapy services are provided and 👇

they didn’t clearly communicate that to parents from the very beginning of play therapy treatment.

This has the potential to create frustration for clients and parents, reduce the effectiveness of your play therapy services, and cause parents to pull their child from play therapy.
