Outdoor Child Therapy with Bonnie.
Research is continually highlighting the benefits of children’s contact with nature. Some of these benefits include:
Increased self-regulation
Improved academic performance with enhanced memory and attention
Positive social developmental interactions
Positive behavioral changes
Increase in cognitive and emotional mental health
Increased imagination and creativity.
Issues that can be supported with NBCCPT include ADHD, depression, anxiety, sensory processing differences, trauma, social/emotional support, adjustment difficulties, and dysregulation.
NBCCPT utilizes the same principles and methods as Child Centered Play Therapy; however, the therapeutic work is enhanced by the emotional, physical and mental benefits of being outdoors. NBCCPT uses some toys that invite interaction with nature, as well as utilizes the natural environment (trees, sticks, leaves, sand) to facilitate emotional expression.
Nature-based Child Centered Play Therapy (NBCCPT) is an innovative therapy approach that expands upon the traditional use of Child Centered Play Therapy.
“Nature Based Play Therapy offers the inherent benefits of interaction with nature while providing developmentally-appropriate therapy for children ages 4-10, and support for parents and families.”
