Play Therapy and Filial Therapy
Children’s Play Therapy Service
Play Therapy Kerry provides a safe supportive environment that allows for children aged 3-12 years to express, release and heal difficult feelings and emotions. Play is a child’s most natural form of expression therefore children can communicate effectively without the use of words. Play Therapy is beneficial on many levels as it enhances a child’s social, emotional, behavioural and physical development. The Play Therapist utilises a wide range of toys and creative mediums as part of the therapy process. Supporting parents and families is also an integral part of the process.

Monster spay. I love this idea. Decorate your own bottle and fill with water and add a slight sent. Simple. A great solution to those bed time monsters.
