Children learn best through play, especially when it comes to understanding emotions, building nervous system regulation and coping skills. Play Therapist Cindy Endredy, LCSW, will share evidence-based DBT strategies adapted for children and taught in developmentally appropriate, play-based ways that parents can use at home.
Designed for parents and children, this webinar focuses on practical tools that help kids practice emotional regulation skills through everyday play, connection, and creativity.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Understand how DBT skills can be adapted for children, using play as the primary pathway for learning
- Teach emotional regulation and coping skills through sensory based play, rather than lectures or correction
- Use simple, play-based activities to help children identify feelings, tolerate frustration, and connect to their bodies
- Practice DBT skills during everyday moments like transitions, and learn to recognize cues and clues in your child so you can intervene before big emotional reactions occur
- Strengthen the connection between you and your child while building skills and support emotional growth in a way that feels natural and engaging
If your child struggles with big feelings, emotional outbursts, or needs extra support from you to regulate emotions, this webinar will give you concrete, expert-guided strategies you can start using right away.
