Parents
We Understand You
At Children’s Play Therapy Clinic, we know parents face many daily challenges. Children, and adults, sometimes feel down, moody or sad. Sometimes they feel angry and frustrated. These are all valid feelings. Sometimes your children present you with challenges too big to deal with alone. You feel overwhelmed, uncertain, not knowing what to do. You want to ensure your child has the support and guidance they need. You might feel you are not doing your job and sometimes you may even feel you are failing them.
But what happens when your help is not enough?


We are here to help
We understand this feeling, this self-doubt, is valid too. Many parents go through that thought process.
Worrying is natural. You are always concerned about your child’s welfare, and you do everything possible to help them.
As a parent can you do it all? Can you know it all?
Of course not. That’s why we are here.
Help your child Heal
Let’s put it in context. If your child breaks a leg, you won’t try to fix it yourself!
You immediately take him or her to the doctor. So, If your child is struggling, and you see that he or she is not coping as they should, it’s ok to ask for help. Just like a broken arm heals itself with a little support, the mind can heal itself too with a little help.
Let your child help himself.


The Process
When you come to Children’s Play Therapy Galway the first consultation is with the parents so you have time to get to know the therapist and discuss what’s happening.
- Then the therapist assesses the situation and determines what therapy is most suitable for your child and the number of sessions.
-
Then your child will attend weekly sessions in our safe environment with a therapeutic relationship where he or she can express themselves through play and creative art techniques.
-
Then we will review and assess the results with you. These are actually measurable results so you can see the progress.
So stop worrying and feeling frustrated or even guilty.
