Friday night I got to live most (if not every) play therapists dream and attend the late late toy show 🥰 What a night it was, what amazing young people took part, and hats off to Patrick Kielty, all the floor staff and researchers on RTE because some amount of work goes in to putting on a show like that! Definitely a tick off the bucket list 😍
