24.01.2022 The value of art 'therapy'...

22.01.2022 Hopes for a future- take a walk in my shoes

13.01.2022 Play is an innate quality in children that is engaging, because they are exploring something that they enjoy, is a natural proceedure, but its far more than that. Play as therapy is using mainly focused techniques within an emotionally continuing relationship and can help children voice what is bothering them deeply. It assists children to relax and find their voice on issues such as divorce or loss. Its offered in a quiet, comfortable and private space and is non intrusive..., the child is not pushed to speak and they lead their play using a range of toys and arts resources specially chosen that may encourage the child to demonstrate their worries through play. They may or may not speak, that is up to them and there are no strict rules other than safety. The adult follows their every move showing the child that they are interested in them and value them therefore building a relationship. The adult will occasionally speak making observations. Play as therapy works well with children who have disabilities, illnesses, who are abused or traumatised, have family troubles, separation issues, loss and grief and those in care moving to new families. Play in a classroom enriches learning, builds skills and produces problem solving skills among many other wonderful things....who wouldve thought play was so powerful

11.01.2022 connecting teens with culture and storytelling through drawing

10.01.2022 Children can grieve the loss of pets or indeed people long after they are gone, it may be displayed as behaviours such as not achieving at school, unusually quiet or unusually naughty, something thats obvious when teaching young children, both in their writing and stories. Art or play as therapy can help them process these emotions.

07.01.2022 Being on the downhill stretch to gain my latest post grad qualification its my goal to focus more on assisting young people to overcome negative emotions through art as therapy and play therapy which covers all aspects of the arts or sand play and working from home. While teaching has been my passion for many years, it has distressed me to face troubled children daily and Ive come to the realisation that this is a very much needed intervention that assists young people to ...organise their emotions and enables them to cope with learning. My approach to behaviour management with classes that present multiple issues and present with various behaviours is something that Id also like to grow. Simply putting up a behaviour chart isnt enough, my way works and fits nicely with PBL. Young children are incapable of expressing emotions thoroughly and it therefore presents as undesirable behaviours- something as simple as Draw and Talk over 12 weeks can assist these children to unpack their worries and return to learning. Others require more. Healthy little people, that is mental health, are less likely to become troubled teens. Summarising, I cater for each childs needs with a toolkit of skills in a creative way. Ive travelled overseas to qualify in various related things, Ive completed multiple post grad qualifications here in Australia and all to enable me to reach this point. I hope that by the end of this year I can say Arts2assist is my new career, making a difference in young lives.
