Adulthood Bias: The Hidden Obstacle in Play Therapy 🚸
As play therapists, we know that children don’t think, reason, or communicate like adults (they don't gain abstract reasoning skills until about age 12) —yet adults often expect them to. This disconnect leads to frustration, power struggles, and misunderstandings, especially when children’s behaviors don’t make sense from an adult perspective.

This is ADULTHOOD BIAS —the tendency for adults to forget what it was like to be a child. We once experienced the world through emotion, play, and impulse, yet we no longer relate to that reality. Instead, we expect children to explain themselves, rationalize their choices, and regulate their emotions in ways they aren’t yet capable of.
