My clients are going to love these activities!
I’m a child and adolescent therapist in private practice and just ordered this book a few days ago to gain ideas for use in individual and group sessions with kids. I feel like I won the lottery with this resource - fun, easy to implement activities with simple, clear instructions - I can’t wait to try these ideas with my clients!

Looks helpful
I flipped through and read a bit of this book. It’s a bit busy to ready the entire thing right now. It is filled with fun activities for younger kids and separated into different categories of activities. I can see this as being really helpful with my preschool aged child. I’ll update the review later once I get a chance to do more of the activities with my kid and see if they are effective.

Great resource
Not only are the exercises clearly explained, the reasoning behind the exercises is also well laid out. The concepts in this book are helpful for anyone who works with children, even if you're not a play therapist.
