Therapy can be helpful to more than just adults and adolescents. Many times, we take for granted the importance of healthy relationships in infancy, and we overlook how vital early play with caregivers can be for mental health and development.

At Reflections Creative Therapies Group, we understand that the earliest years of life are critical for emotional and developmental growth. Therapy for infants and toddlers at our office in Wellington, Florida, focuses on supporting children and their caregivers to address any developmental concerns, attachment issues, or behavioral challenges. Our therapists use gentle, age-appropriate techniques, such as play therapy, to help young children navigate early emotional experiences. Prioritizing infant mental health establishes a foundation for better emotional regulation, healthy attachment, and social development.

“First Play Therapy”: Early Intervention Therapy for Infants

Caring touch and storytelling create intimacy and release the hormone oxytocin, which is known to reduce stress and improve sleep. Through First Play Therapy, you will learn how to use simple storytelling in combination with nurturing therapeutic activities in order to foster a more bonded relationship with your infant. It has been proven that nurturing the bond between parents and infants increases security and willingness to take direction as well as aids in cooperation and attachment into adolescence.

The average infant mental health care journey starts by encouraging a healthy relationship with the child’s caregivers. Our therapists work closely with parents and guardians to teach strategies for nurturing emotional security and promoting positive behaviors. We also offer guidance on how to best respond to a child’s needs, fostering a healthy bond and reinforcing emotional well-being.
