Challenging behaviors are often a form of communication, expressing needs and experiences that children may not yet have the words to share. This training explores what may be happening beneath the surface of children's behaviors and how play therapy can help clinicians better understand those underlying needs. Participants will explore practical play-based interventions that support emotional expression, strengthen connection, and address the needs behind challenging behaviors.
1. Identify developmental, relational, environmental, and emotional factors that may contribute to challenging behaviors in children.
2. Analyze children's behaviors through a play therapy lens to recognize patterns, underlying needs, and possible functions of behavior.
3. Select and implement play therapy interventions that address the underlying needs contributing to challenging behaviors and promote more adaptive ways of coping and interacting.
