Theraplay(R) is an attachment-focused model of parenting that helps
parents to understand and relate to their child. Based on a sequence of
play activities that are rooted in neuroscience, Theraplay offers a fun
and easy way for parents and children to connect. Theraplay is
particularly effective with looked after and adopted children.
By providing an overview of Theraplay and the psychological principles
that it is based on, parents and carers will gain an understanding of
the basic theory of the model along with practical ideas for applying
Theraplay to everyday family life. Through everyday case studies and
easy language, parents will gain confidence and learn new skills for
emotional bonding, empathy, and acceptance in the relationship with
their child.
