My dad has the same nightmare every fall: he is in a classroom preparing to take a final exam, when he realizes he never attended the class or completed any of the assignments! He is certain he is going to fail.
School is in full swing, and it brings some excitement, along with some stressors. It is quite common for a new school year to bring new or old problems back to the surface for your child or your family.

My training includes play therapy training. Play therapy allows children (and adults, too) to express and work through problems in ways they are comfortable. Playing is how kids communicate and learn. Playing also strengthens relationships with peers and parents.
