Episode 26: On Being an Authority Figure for Children

On this episode of Play Time, we explore authority figures, and how we hold our authority as play therapists inside of the play room. We also take a look at children's relationship to authority, and spell out how to be an authority figure for children that is rooted in helping children develop and come into themselves.The ideas regarding authority for this episode were taken from Erich Fromm, and specifically from his book 'The Sane Society'.As always, I can be reached at [email protected].
