We're shaking things up and doing something we haven’t done in a while. In this episode, Lisa is responding directly to your questions! And today, we have three fantastic questions from our listeners that Lisa will be answering.

Jennifer asks: "What do you do if a child wants to bring food or their own toys into the session?"

Lisa gives insights and shares different ways to respond. She delves into the therapeutic function of foods and emphasizes the importance of including the child's toys in sessions, in line with Synergetic Play Therapy’s philosophy.

Sarah asks: "What do you do when a child lies or exaggerates their stories?"

Lisa helps us understand why it’s not about the specific details of the story and highlights what’s more important when working with a child who lies or exaggerates.

Jennifer asks: "How do you handle it if a child wants to show their caregiver something they created in the playroom?"

Lisa discusses the larger question we need to consider first and then offers various ways to respond to different ways that this can play out.

We have three amazing questions that came from YOU! Keep your questions coming and join us for an engaging and insightful episode that deepens your understanding of the little lessons children teach us in the playroom.

If you would like to be part of the conversation (...because yes, we’re going to keep doing these episodes), send your questions to Lisa at info@synergeticplaytherapy.com. Or even better, send us an audio of your question to share. 🙂
