Through the game "read" Kiki reveals tips
The 5-and-a-half-year-old Qiqi's language skills are weak, and she often makes emotions because of small things, and will deliberately fail to follow or delay her mother's instructions.
Qiqi's mother tried different rewards and punishments, but the situation did not improve significantly.
Due to the suspension of classes due to the epidemic, Qiqi's negative emotions and uncooperative behavior have intensified, making mothers more and more pressured on discipline, and the parent-child relationship has become more and more tense.
As a result, Qiqi's mother approached Le Shantang for assistance. The social worker of the center found out and referred Qiqi to participate in the "Childlike Heart" Comprehensive Support Program for Children with Special Educational Needs.
The social worker of Le Shan Tang suggested to try different games and toys as a medium to understand Qiqi's inner world from the game process.
The social worker and Qiqi had a 12-session play therapy service. After each session, the social worker had an interview with the mother to understand the challenges the mother faced when getting along with Qiqi and give appropriate advice.
At the beginning of the treatment, Kiki quickly plunged into the game.
The staff noticed that Qiqi likes to play some roles, such as teacher or mother.
She will ask social workers to follow her instructions to play games together, such as cooking and preparing meals together, acting as students, and simulating classroom situations.
From these actions, social workers observed that Qiqi is a child who has her own ideas and does not want to be controlled by others.
The social worker suggested that the mother invite her to be a small helper in her daily life to help her with the tasks at home and strengthen her sense of self-efficacy.
The social worker also suggested that the mother can use the "visual timetable" to allow Qiqi to participate in the process of deciding daily activities and increase her ability to abide by the rules.
From the "visual timetable", the mother posted instructions or activity schedules on the timetable through pictures or photos for the child to see, so that she can review the timetable at any time and deepen her understanding.
The "tasks" on the timetable need to be meaningful leisure activities that children have the ability to complete independently, such as completing puzzles or drawing pictures.
This will also help strengthen her independence and build up her self-confidence.
Social workers observe Qiqi’s inner world from the play therapy process
The rebellion stems from the hope to get the mother's attention
In addition to role-playing, Kiki also likes to draw.
She often drew pictures of her and her mother, and the social worker knew from the process of talking with her that she wanted to be with her mother often.
However, because her mother was busy taking care of her younger brother, she couldn't accompany her often, so Kiki cherished the time she spends alone with her mother.
The social worker believed that she didn’t know how to express herself, so she would often get emotional to attract her mother’s attention. The social worker suggested that her mother take time to chat with Qiqi every day to understand what happened to her every day, and let her find a suitable way to express her emotions. , In order to reduce her daily emotional disturbance.
The social worker also suggested that the mother should accompany Kiki to play games and draw more, and increase the time spent with her to build a good relationship.
Games can also help Kiki relax herself and help her talk with others.
Kiki enjoys the game very much
The social worker patiently talked to Qiqi’s mother about Qiqi’s direction of discipline
After 12 sessions of play therapy, Qiqi’s mother said that her daughter’s emotional state has greatly improved, and her lack of uncooperativeness has reduced her mother’s pressure on discipline.
Play therapy helps the mother understand Kiki’s inner world. She also learned from the treatment process to "read" the tips given by her daughter through games and toys, observe her daughter’s reactions, and understand how to formulate suitable for Kiki’s characteristics. Parenting methods.
In addition to improving the relationship between her and Qiqi, the service also allowed her to understand her own discipline and emotions, which in fact have always affected Qiqi.
The mother said that she would work together with Qiqi to build a closer parent-child relationship. She is very grateful for the professional and caring advice and patient assistance of Leshantang social workers.
