A Child's First Book About Play Therapy Paperback – January 1, 1990

Kids love playing with others

The words in this book are fairly large print and relatively simple for kids to read and understand. This gives some idea of the kids reading and comprehension abilities. It also talks about kids going to see a therapist - what the kids concerns are and what kind of things go on or are talked about. The kids I have used it with seem to like it ... no they can't take my copy home, no they can't color the big pictures in my book. They normally ask those questions ... and many more. I like it!

This is a great resource to help explain therapy to children. I sent it home with a parent to read with the children prior to our meeting. I very much recommend.

I love this book! Super helpful in the beginning of the therapy. It looks and reads like a regular children's book for ages 5-8. Describes all major therapy concepts and process for children in a manner they can understand. I've had clients who requested to read the book again when we were in a process of termination (books covers that too). I am definitely recommending this book to child therapists.

Are use this book for every new child client! It explains to them what therapy is and how it’s different then working with the teacher or going to the doctor!

This is, simply put, one of the best books I have ever used with child clients in therapy. Whether you're doing explicitly play therapy or some combination of verbal play therapy this is a great book to help introduce kids to the concepts of therapy.

Explains concepts I cover in an initial play therapy session very well. Age appropriate for ages listed in my experience.

The children that I work with love this book. My own children love it as well.

Lovely therapy tool. Beautifully illustrated

Delivered on time. Great book
