When a child feels pressure to be perfect, to do everything perfectly, whether it comes from an external source or internally, it can wreak havoc on a child’s ability to function as a happy, normal child. In this 2 hour webinar we will explore the nature of this very specific kind of anxiety and when it may cross over into OCD. We will look at how to use play therapy to assist children with perfectionism to create new ways of of thinking, seeing and behaving so that they can have a more relaxed and joyful quality of life.

After taking this training, participants will be able to achieve the following learning objectives:

Describe the nature of childhood anxiety disorders specifically related to perfectionistic tendencies and will learn how to identify these tendencies when a child is in the play room.
List 10 play therapy techniques to address the child’s perfectionistic thinking and behaving through creative interventions that allow the child to have new and eventually liberating experiences in the play room.
Discuss specific ways to help parents of perfectionistic children to examine how they may be unknowingly contributing to these challenges as well as receive psycho-education and parenting support to enhance and compliment the aims of the play therapy treatment plan.
