Some of these activities really require children to be vocal abd confident. Many kids who seek help for so because they lack confidence. Hiw would you address that?
@MeyleenVelasquez6 ай бұрын
I tend to do a lot of processing in videos to give providers options. I would say if you have training in child-directed play therapy, the processing happens in the context of the play. I am getting ready to start videos again. I might provide some examples of this :)

Meyleen, I have a few questions regarding how to help the clients feel comfortable enough to open up with you. As well as what is the best way to interact and help a child when he or she does not talk and is introverted. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to best help the child or any resources I can use.
@MeyleenVelasquez2 жыл бұрын
Hi Stephany, I will share a couple of things that are helpful to me, but please note that so much depends on the specific needs of the child. For example, collaborating with the child/family will depend on the child's age, developmental needs, and many other intersectional factors. I find it helpful to rely on child-directed play therapy as we can then meet the child in a connected way. I've also found it helpful to name the feeling or what you notice in the space, like "you are not sure you want to be here." A third suggestion is to seek consultation as this will be the best space to obtain support. Thanks!

Hola Meyleen, thank you for your very informative video! I am at the end of my Clinical Mental Health Counseling program and have decided to specialize in working with children and adolescents. The biggest struggle I am having right now is knowing when to involve parents. I made the mistake of working with just the teens (they are around 13-14), and now that I have seen them for a couple of months, I've noticed parents are just dropping off kids and waiting in the car. I want to involve parents more but don't know how. Any tips around this would be great or a video about when to involve parents!! :)

Hola Angeles, I try to meet with caregivers alone for the initial appointment and then set a plan to meet as a family once a month. Depending on the concern we are working on, I've held check-in and check-out family talks at each session.
