Parent-Child Attachment Play
This is a gentle play-based approach which supports families with their children’s behaviour and emotional wellbeing. It is a gentle, play-based approach delivered in a small group each week.
Parent-Child Attachment Play looks at three different skills for the parent to use with their child at home, enabling parents to begin a short weekly ‘you and me’ play or activity time at home with their child.
The sessions take place in a relaxing atmosphere, accompanied by hot drinks and cakes, they give parents a great opportunity to share experiences and learn how to move forward with lots of support.
Play Therapy
