Lightning Round Q&A #4! - Four listeners contacted me with five questions, so here we go with Lightning Round #4. I'm so grateful to you and your investment in child-centered play therapy. You are why I do this podcast. Thank you for your emails and phone calls. Here is a summary of the questions:
- Pamela from Texas - The child keeps getting "bad" behavior notes from school. When do we know that a child has moved into the Termination Phase
- Rattanyoo (Bonus) from Thailand - How to handle challenging behavior by a client (lying, stealing, etc.)
- "J" from California - Why child-centered is more effective than directive methods
- Lexi from Minnesota - How to adapt a playroom with desk and closet, Use of safety plans, making messes, asked to close eyes, setting boundaries with the child
