  • Poll: Parents: Child therapy?

    I was just wanting some parental thoughts. I want to look into a different form of therapy for children. You could almost call it "food therapy".

    An example of a session would be with a 5 year old we make "worms 'n' dirts": making homemade chocolate pudding and then assembling a "garden" with pudding and bug gummy candies topped with oreo cookie bits. During the recipe we talk and familiarising ourselves with eachother or start with the lighter topics and getting the child to talk and then while enjoying our snack we try to get to the deeper things.

    So my question is is this a style of therapy something you would prefer, educational, hands on as well as progressive? Or would you like the straight in an office across a table playing with toys?

    I just want to feel out if this would be something to look into or should I evolve it more? Obviously not all of the snacks would be like that one, could make the bugs on a log (peanut butter, raisins and celery), things like that but you get the drift, child friendly and creative. Any feedback would be awesome!
