Playing games in the playroom at Every Kind of Mind

When children play games in the playroom, they’re doing much more than passing time.

Games provide a gentle, structured way for children to practise important life skills — such as turn-taking, patience, flexibility, problem-solving, and managing big emotions like frustration or disappointment.

Within the safety of a therapeutic relationship, games support emotional regulation, confidence, and connection. Most importantly, they allow children to learn and grow in a way that feels natural, enjoyable, and pressure-free.

Because play is a child’s language — and we’re here to listen 🤍

✨ A New Chapter Begins ✨

We’re so excited to share the next step in our journey — our refreshed branding.

The design ideation explores different graphics that reflect the way individual minds work. Experiencing the world in different ways, yet all equally valued and held within a safe, supportive space.

This new brand identity captures who we are, what we believe in, and where we’re heading — a space built on inclusion, understanding, and genuine belonging.
Because here, Every Kind of Mind is seen, supported, and celebrated. 🧠💛

We can’t wait to take this next chapter with you.

🌿 Sensory Processing, Body Awareness & Play Therapy
When a child understands their body — how it moves, feels, and responds — they feel safer, more grounded, and more ready to play. Sensory processing and body awareness help children regulate their emotions, organise their thoughts, and stay connected in the moment.

In play therapy, this regulation becomes the doorway to deeper connection, confidence, and healing. When a child’s body feels supported, their mind can explore, express, and grow. 🌱 needs

We don’t need to use fear, threats, punishment, or “because I said so” to guide our children.

When a child is overwhelmed, “misbehaving,” defiant, or shutting down, what we’re actually seeing is a nervous system seeking safety.

Our children aren’t giving us a hard time they are having a hard time.

Connection shifts everything.

When a child:
• feels seen
• feels safe
• feels like their feelings make sense to us

Their body begins to settle.

And it’s through our regulation that their nervous system finds its way back to calm.
This is co-regulation, their emotional system borrowing ours.

When the body relaxes, the thinking brain (prefrontal cortex) comes back online.

That’s when:
• cooperation returns
• listening becomes possible
• repair and learning can happen

Not through fear.
Not through shame.
Not through threat.

But through relationship.

A regulated nervous system invites a calm nervous system.
Our connection becomes the container that helps their emotions integrate instead of overflow.

This is the heart of Trauma-Aware Parenting.
We lead with presence, not power.

If you want to learn how to actually do this in real moments, the meltdowns, the defiance, the tears, the overwhelm, join the Trauma-Aware Parenting course. We go deep into co-regulation, emotional attunement, repair, play connection, and nervous system safety.

Have you ever wondered why children aren’t asked to clean up after a play therapy session?

In play therapy, play is their language and toys are their words. Asking a child to pack up at the end would be like asking an adult to tidy away the emotions they’ve just expressed in therapy.

Leaving the room as they’ve played allows children to fully process and release what’s come up in the session — their thoughts, feelings, and experiences — in a safe and supported way.

In the playroom, every choice has meaning… even the mess. 🌿

When a child feels safe enough to fall apart in front of you, it’s not disrespect, it’s trust. You’ve become their safe place to land.

If you’d like to learn how to create that sense of safety and trust within your home, helping your child feel seen, supported, and emotionally secure

🌿 Outreach Day 🌿
Today I had the privilege of visiting a local school — creating a space where play becomes the language children use to share their world.

Through play, children express emotions, explore challenges, and build a sense of safety and confidence. In play therapy, we meet each child exactly where they are — supporting them to feel seen, heard, and empowered to be their authentic self. 💚

Every moment of play tells a story — and it’s an honour to listen.

Every child has their own way of making sense of the world — through play, movement, story, and imagination.

In the playroom, we meet them right where they are. There’s no rush, no pressure, just gentle space to explore what’s happening inside.

Sometimes healing looks like laughter, sometimes it looks like building the same tower over and over again — and both are okay.

At Every Kind of Mind, we hold space for it all — because every child’s story, and every kind of mind, matters. 🌿
