From Playroom to Parent

Working with children also means building relationships with the adults who care for them. Sometimes we know what we’re seeing in our work with a child, but explaining it to a parent in a way that feels clear, helpful, and supportive can feel challenging.

In this training, we’ll explore how to take concepts like behavior, regulation, connection, and the therapeutic process and talk about them in ways that make sense to caregivers. We’ll also look at how we show up in these conversations and how the relationship we build with parents can support the work we’re doing with their child.

And we won’t just talk about it. Through hands-on activities, discussion, and real-life examples, you’ll have opportunities to practice putting these ideas into language that feels natural and useful in your own work.

Designed for counselors, social workers, PLPCs, graduate students, and helping professionals working with children and families.

Info: Breaking down behavior, regulation, connection, and the therapeutic process into simple, parent-friendly language. We’ll explore ways to share observations, progress, and concerns so caregivers can understand what we’re seeing and how it connects to everyday life.

Info: Looking at how we show up in conversations with caregivers and using relational, attuned responses to build trust, connection, and collaboration.

Info: Hands-on practice using real-life situations and conversations to apply the concepts, find language that feels natural, and work through some of the harder moments that can come up with caregivers.

Info: Reflection, questions, and practical takeaways participants can bring into their own work.
