    What’s the best way to make the biggest and most long-lasting impact using play therapy?


    After all, that’s the goal of play therapy - to make a lasting difference in the lives of children.


    The question we need to consider is - who is the therapeutic agent of change for the child?


    Play therapist or parents?


    You can make the case that both are therapeutic agents of change in their own way.


    Play therapists create a strong relationship with children to help them overcome the challenges they’re experiencing currently.


    If you want to make the biggest and most long-lasting impact using play therapy then you’ll want to consider how you can engage parents as the therapeutic agents of change for their children.


    After all, parents are in the lives of your clients much longer than you are in their lives.


    To help parents become the therapeutic agents of change for their children using play therapy, you need to figure out what is the role of parents in play therapy and why does it matter?


    I’ll discuss the role of parents and how to maximize their role using play therapy to get the best results for your young clients.
