The Power of Nurture: Helping Children Feel Safe and Seen

Nurture is at the heart of Theraplay, creating opportunities for children to experience care, comfort and connection in a way that builds trust and emotional security. In adoption, where children may not always have had consistent nurturing experiences, these moments can be especially powerful in helping them feel valued, soothed and safe within their relationships.

This episode is the fourth in a five part series and is a little different from our usual format, as the conversation is led by two social workers, who bring their professional insight and experience of using Theraplay in their work with children and families. Together, they explore how nurture shows up in practice, why it matters so deeply, and how small, playful interactions can help strengthen bonds between children and their caregivers.
