Theraplay: Attachment-Enhancing Play Therapy

Originally developed for children in Head Start in Chicago, it is based on 5 components of healthy parent-child interactions:

• Structure
• Nurture
• Engagement
• Challenge
• Playfulness

This therapy utilizes games & sensory activities that effective parents have used with their children for generations. The activities are fun, they enhance a child's sense of safety & they promote parent-child bonding. Typical activities may include applying lotion, tickling with a feather, blowing bubbles, playing Simon says, or Peek-a-boo, or learning to jump. The activities are chosen to be fun and pleasurable for both parent & child.
