Kid Connections Theraplay Groups are adult-directed, structured play groups that incorporate playful, cooperative and nurturing activities that enhance the emotional well-being of children. Unlike other play group approaches, Theraplay learning takes place on a non-verbal level. Instead of talking about positive social behavior, the group leaders and children DO positive social interaction. Positive messages from the group interaction gradually become a part of the child’s internal sense of self.

In these groups children will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn and practice cooperation between peers
  • Learn and practice self-control
  • Enhance trust of others through concrete, personal and positive experiences
  • Experience warm relationships between themselves and adults and friendships among peers
  • Experience an atmosphere that is warm, nurturing, engaging and challenging
  • Have their basic needs met so they can be freed emotionally to explore their world
  • Receive support with regulatory disorders and tactile issues
  • Improve their cognitive, social and emotional development
