Fun Activities

Fun activities shared by family members allow members of the family to take a break from the demands of everyday life and to focus on things they have in common.

Play…

Play facilitates bonds to form between family members. Research shows that it is not the “big” activities such as a vacation that have the strongest impact on family cohesion but rather, the everyday, simple and fun activities that families can do on a recurring basis.

Benefits of Play:

• By helping adults understand the power of play, they can soften their outlook and approach to the idea of play with and for their children

• By learning how to play adults benefit and the family system can grow more balanced.

• Play therapy activities can help therapists better assess the family dynamics and therefore create an effective treatment plan.
