Changes are difficult for everyone, but can be even more challenging for children, who may lack coping skills to meet the demands that BIG feelings require. When parents divorce, myriad issues impact the children, and through the decades, I have found that parents are always concerned about how their children will cope, adjust and respond to the big changes.

Through my 3+ decades of working with children and families, I have seen my fair share of kids trying to adjust and make sense of the changes divorce brings. 

I've provide playful therapy all along, using two houses to allow my young charges to work through complex emotions and concerns.

I was super excited to start using these folding, portable boxes in play therapy...and knew I had to share them with you. 

I also put everything I do into a 7 page download that shares the playful activity and how I proceed, as well as 20 conversation prompts and 6 pages of printable activities. 

You'll be able to use this in groups or in individual therapy, and it can stretch across several sessions.
