Child and family therapists often play games with children in session. Play is a great way to engage children, help them feel comfortable, and provide opportunities to learn new skills. Caregivers and parents can also play games with children at home, however. See below for ideas of particular games that caregivers and parents might consider:
Pain, fear, anger, hate, and courage, are emotions that affect people’s sense of overall well-being and connectedness. C. S. Lewis and Brené Brown discuss these these topics.
To care for others and yourself is a balance that requires thought, prayer, and Holy Spirit wisdom to image the care of God, which is the greatest care possible.
Sometimes a child is on survival mode because of past traumas. This is an opportunity to pour into their child and develop a loving parent-child relationship.
