Please note we had a sound glitch in some of this podcast  as always do reach out with any questions. 

In these podcasts we look at the nine different types of play that Dr Solter has identified. We address three distinctive types of play in each episode.  The play is non-directed and child-centred which gives ample opportunity for the child to feel seen and heard. Play is not just something to ‘fill in the gaps’ or while away a rainy afternoon but a key opportunity to build laughter and connection. Here we look at non-directive child-centred play, symbolic play and contingency play which is a type of play where we follow the ‘commands’ and prompts. Contingency play in particular is a great stress reliever and if the child is laughing you have struck gold. Keep at it as they will build so much trust and confidence and release residual feelings of anxiety and  powerlessness.
