Restoration House Counseling

Restoration House provides children and families with restorative care through individual and family counseling, education, and support.

We work with children, teens, and family units with a focus on play-based and attachment therapy to offer restoration.

Every small step counts, both in play and in parenting. Celebrate the wins, take a breath, and remember: you've got this. 💛

Balancing, climbing, reaching, exploring – moments of play where curiosity meets learning and reflection.

Sometimes support looks like offering a small piece, an idea, or a tool — while allowing a child to continue creating in their own way. These moments encourage self-expression and confidence during play.

A sandtray is a place where children can build worlds, tell stories, and express feelings.

By selecting and placing miniatures inside the sand – people, animals, houses, and objects– children can create scenes to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

In therapy, the sandtray can become a safe place for imagination, exploration, and healing.

Thank you Mississippi Association for Play Therapy for a wonderful training! We learned so much we want to share with our friends at RHC!

We may be in school today but we know our teacher friends go to school everyday! While we’re in training, we’re thinking about how much courage it takes for kids and their teachers to show up at school every day.

Here are a few therapist-approved tools we love to share with our teacher friends (these are things our clients have shared help them most!):

🌿 Calm Corners
A small space with sensory tools can help reset big emotions.

⏳ Timers for Transitions
Visual timers reduce power struggles and improve cooperation.

🗣️ Emotion Coaching Scripts
Instead of “Stop that,” try:
“I see your body is having a hard time. Let’s figure it out together.”

🎯 One Clear Direction at a Time
Multi-step directions overwhelm busy brains.

Teacher Friends! We see you continuing to show up for your students with awesome tools, insight, and most importantly --compassion. Thank you!

We’re spending some time this week sharpening our skills at training — because supporting kids well means staying current, curious, and creative.

Since school is on everyone’s mind, here are our favorite classroom-friendly supports for kids with attention or impulse regulation challenges:

✔️ Visual Schedules
Knowing what’s coming next reduces anxiety and improves cooperation.

✔️ First-Then Language
“First math, then recess.” Clear, simple structure helps the brain stay organized.

✔️ Movement Before Homework
Heavy work (pushing, carrying, jumping) helps regulate the body for sitting tasks.

✔️ Connection Before Correction
A child who feels understood is more likely to listen.

We’re learning this week so we can keep bringing the best tools back to your kids.

This week, our therapists are heading back to school! 🎒✨

We believe the best therapists are lifelong learners — always growing so we can better support children and families we serve. We believe the best therapists are lifelong learners — always growing so we can better support the children and families we serve.

As we prepare for training on Friday and Saturday (Yes! We have Saturday School!!), we thought we'd share a few of our favorite “school hacks” we teach kids to help with focus and emotional regulation:

🧠 Brain Breaks Every 20 Minutes
Short movement breaks help reset attention.

🎧 Noise Control
Headphones or soft background sound can reduce overwhelm.

✏️ Fidget Tools with Purpose
Small, quiet fidgets can actually increase focus when used intentionally.

💛 Regulation Before Expectation
A calm nervous system learns better than a stressed one.

When kids see adults learning too, they learn that growth never stops.

Asking our kiddos GREAT questions gives us a peek into their worlds. Question asking can be difficult BUT, with practice, we can increase our skills at connecting with our people using words and implementing our excellent listening skills.
