Sandtray: A Dynamic Time for Littles – Live Webinar
Description:
Are you a play therapist often repeating the classic lines, “Sand stays in the sand tray,” “Sand is not for eating,” or “Sand is not for sprinkling in my hair”? If this sounds familiar, you are likely working with young clients ages 0-5 in the playroom. This workshop is for play therapists working with early childhood clients that are ready to enhance their Sandtray skills and increase engagement with caregivers in the therapeutic process.
Objectives:
- Participants of this workshop will examine the advantages of incorporating Sandtray therapy in their work with early childhood clients while demonstrating new insights into playroom configurations with the sand tray and various techniques and considerations specific to utilizing Sandtray methods effectively with young children.
- Participants in this workshop will examine effective strategies for engaging early childhood clients in therapy, including limit setting, positive choices, redirecting and assertive communication while including caregivers actively in the therapeutic journey to emphasize the importance of fostering supportive caregiving practices.
- Participants of this workshop will examine cultural sensitivities and demonstrate strategies to respectfully incorporate and honor diverse cultural expressions within Sandtray therapy.
