Filial Family Therapy

Filial family therapy is a parent-child play therapy for children aged 2 to 12 who experience emotional stress and have behavioral problems. There are many goals of therapy, including increasing the child’s self-esteem, self-awareness of his/her emotions, and problem-solving abilities to reduce problem behaviors and stress. Parents learn to communicate better with their child, improve their listening and empathy skills, and develop self-confidence as parents.

Parents and children participate in supervised play therapy to strengthen the parent-child bond and improve parenting skills over the course of 10 to 12 weeks.
