MNAPT is committed to sharing resources to parents, teachers, therapists, daycare providers, etc. Children ask questions about what is happening at their schools, neighborhoods, what their friends are talking about. Here are some resources to help with current event conversations.

**Commenting will be turned off and previous comments deleted as this is not a place for discussion on these topics. It is a place for resources. If you have an additional resource you would like shared or have questions for MNAPT, please send us an email us at minnesotaapt@gmail.com.

We took this picture from an office window this morning. How many deer can you spot?

Leigh Ellen will be leading a seriously silly improv group for kids starting in January! www.growththerapy.net/group to fill out an interest form.

When we take play seriously, we take children seriously. Play therapy recognizes play as the language of children, and listens closely.

Because important work can look like paper airplanes, 37 different markers, and a game of Uno!

Sometimes we get clients who ask if they can contribute in some meaningful way to the work we do here with kids. We have been working on defining some of the shared woods by our parking lot into a more walking-friendly area. If you'd like to help, we've created a wish list of items. For most things, we'd be happy to accept similar used items in good condition if you are doing some end of the year cleaning and looking to rehome items. Thank you!

Today a kid chose to create with air dry clay some potato chips. Complete with textured ridges! Ruffles, she’ll be applying for your advertising team in about 20 years.
