April 2025 Week 4

And just like that, April has come and gone!

 As they say, "April showers bring May flowers"...and we most definitely had some crazy April showers!!

 So here's to a bright and sunny (pretty please!?) May ahead of us!;)

 With that said, we'll be wrapping up this month's discussion with one more of my TOP TIPS + you guessed it..Ask Amy!!

 The #7 skill on my Sandtray Skill List for Working with Children - Have FUN and let yourself just be!

 This is a very essential part that plays into the healing of our younger clients!

 That means YOU play a huge part in the actual healing process! 

 "When you are good at something, it looks easy from the outside, but years of training and experience is what helps it look effortless." ~ A.H.

 And your reminder for what that ^ looks like in the sand with our kiddos -

 You're not a babysitter or meant to take control of the session for children.

 Your job is to help create an experience for them! And you do that by showing up for them, remembering your skills, and connecting with them!

 You are so capable!

You are doing enough!

You got this!!

 I'll be on the Penthouse Facebook Live TODAY @11am (cst), so send in your questions by replying to this email and/or shoot me a question while chatting with me in the live!

 Talk with you very soon!

 Amy

 P.S. Here's an extra resource on what type of themes to pay attention to when in a sandtray session with children.
