At Parsons Counseling LLC, we are excited to offer Empower Play – an innovative program designed to guide and empower children to build crucial life skills. By providing parents and counselors with supportive strategies, Empower Play helps kids gain greater independence, resilience, critical thinking, strong relationships, trust, and self-confidence.
Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone
Empower Play encourages children to try new activities that gently test their limits. With encouragement, they can gain the skills to handle unfamiliar or challenging situations. We view manageable stepping stones as opportunities for growth.
Structure Through Routines
Consistent daily routines provide children a sense of stability and control. When kids know what to expect, they feel secure taking ownership of responsibilities suitable for their age.
Building Resilience
Through Empower Play, children discover how to bounce back from setbacks, try new approaches, and persist despite obstacles. We view mistakes as chances to learn. By teaching effective coping strategies, kids strengthen their problem-solving abilities.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
We equip parents and counselors to guide children through identifying issues, exploring options, and evaluating outcomes. These skills lay the groundwork for critical thinking and confident decision-making.
Trusting Connections
Empower Play highlights the importance of relationships and communication between caregivers and children. By listening actively, showing empathy, and making meaningful connections, kids feel safe to take chances and ask for guidance.
Confidence Through Accomplishments
We encourage kids to take pride in their efforts to master age-appropriate challenges – no matter the outcome. Recognizing hard work and celebrating successes, big or small, empowers children to believe in themselves.
Our goal is for Empower Play to instill life-long skills through collaborative guidance tailored to each child’s unique journey. We aim for kids to feel empowered to take on new adventures, overcome obstacles, and reach their full potential. Please reach out if you have any other questions!
