The

PlayTherapyWorks

Summer Seminars at Cape Cod 

provide therapists with a unique opportunity to combine intensive play therapy training with relaxed vacation time. The training takes place in Eastham, MA, in the midst of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Spending a week in this beautiful, unspoiled setting is a great way to unwind and nurture one's self--body and soul. With the half-day training format, you'll have plenty of time to absorb each day's information and come back the next day refreshed and ready to learn more.

Mixed Emotions Jr. Black and White

 designed by 
Amy Romero, LPC, RPT  

             

Recommended Age Range: Ages 3-8

Treatment Modality: Individual

Goals: When young children act out in response to upsetting events, they are often directed to "use their words" to express their emotions. To follow this directive, the child needs to be able to internally process their emotional reactions and then translate that understanding into words. This is beyond the ability of many young children. In this activity, a chart is used to help the young child better identify his or her own inner emotional state and then convey that information to others. This activity also helps young children recognize that the intensity of one's emotional reaction to an event may vary, depending on other variables, and that one can take action to regulate the intensity of one's emotions.
