Got big behaviors? Do you want to break down walls and work towards building connection and healing our families together? Playfulness disarms the fear response in children.  It helps build connection, teaches social skills, problem solving, communication and life skills.  Laughing swaps the cortisol in our bloodstream with highly sought after chemicals in the brain: dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins. Dopamine can enhance learning, motivation, and attention.

Join us this summer for our “Play It Out” sessions.  Each session has been designed to address issues our families face in the trenches of dealing with big behaviors.  Self regulation, interception,  felt safety and sensory issues are just a few topics we will tackle together.  We have 10 total sessions with 5 different topics each week.  Each session is limited to 20 people so RSVP ASAP. It’s going to be a great summer filled with lots of fun and making great memories.

“The presence or absence of play, particularly in child development, has a great deal to do with competency, resiliency, emotional health brain size,” Play is “not frivolous and not just for kids, but something that is an inherent part of human nature.” ~Dr. Stuart Brown

Our culture does not create an environment for adults to play - just because. Children who have experienced trauma often don't even know HOW to play. The gift of play is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves and the children we care for. So join us June 25th and let's play!
