Episode summary
In today's episode, I answer a question from Summer in Illinois. She asked about the use of board games in the playroom. As a tool in child-centered play therapy, board games serve as a conduit for emotional growth, problem-solving, and social interaction. This episode's content highlights how the structured nature of board games can be leveraged to foster meaningful therapeutic outcomes. I also go over the most common questions I get about board games in the playroom, such as cheating, power and control, and how it applies to my concept of the "power pendulum."
