Play & Heal

Filial Coaching

Filial coaching is a form of play therapy that helps parents develop the skills to address their child’s concerns and affect change in the family unit.

Filial therapy can help parents and children to form closer and happier relationships.

Filial therapy can help children to express their feelings and fears through the natural activity of play.  Over time, children may:

 

  • Understand their own feelings better
  • Become able to express their feelings more appropriately
  • Be more able to tell parents what they need, what is worrying them
  • Become more confident and skilled in solving problems as well as asking for help when they need it
  • Reduce their problem behaviours
  • Feel more secure and trust their parents more
  • Have a more healthy self esteem and increase their self-confidence.

 

Filial therapy can help parents to:

 

  • Understand their child’s worries and other feelings more fully
  • Learn new skills for encouraging co-operation from their children
  • Enjoy playing with their children and giving them positive attention
  • Increase their listening skills and develop open communication with their children
  • Develop self confidence as parents
  • Become more able to trust their children
  • Deal in new ways with frustrations in family life
