Through everyday case studies and easy language, parents will gain confidence and learn new skills for emotional bonding, empathy, and acceptance in the relationship with their child.
Theraplay® is an attachment-focused model of parenting that helps parents to understand and relate to their child.

Theraplay is particularly effective with looked after and adopted children.
