Clients who are parents often express concerns about how to help their child be prepared to enter Kindergarten. This is often done by focusing on teaching children how to read or count. This course explores why and how allowing children to engage in play, especially child-centered play, is a critical component of fostering educational readiness in children. This course will also teach participants how to teach basic filial play therapy skills to parents/caregivers to promote therapeutic play between parents and children.
