[quote=Anonymous]Its usually play therapy at that age. They play games (like go fish or battleship), or play with fidget toys, talk about the day, what went well, what didn't. Talk about things they like, things they don't. In the games, some challenges may come up. All of these lead to prompts (challenge in the game, something upsetting happened at school, something that kept them up last night) allow the therapist to help them talk through it and learn skills to address (e.g. breathing techniques). It feels seamless in the session, so the child doesn't feel like the therapist is going on and on about it. These books may help you learn some techniques that would help your child, we found it helpful with ours: https://www.amazon.com/When-Worries-Get-Too-Big/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/1591473144 [/quote]
