Hey, Parents! Have you taken the time to play today?

Play is one of the most powerful ways that you can connect with your child - but sometimes the idea of this can be overwhelming or foreign.

You may not have known, but we offer Parent-specific sessions, so that we can provide you with support in improving your relationship with your child or family. These sessions are designed to help you learn how to engage with your child through play, strengthen your bond, and build confidence in supporting your child’s development.

"At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of the parents." - Jane D. Hull

Introducing our second featured banned book....
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis

The book The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe was BANNED across the U.S. in 1990 mainly due to the book’s candid treatment of the Occult and Mysticism: Critics and some religious groups argued that the fantasy elements, witchcraft, and magical creatures promote the occult, paganism, or Wicca, missing or rejecting the Christian undertones.

Graphic Violence: Portions of the series—particularly battle scenes and descriptions in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe—have been targeted for depicting violence and gore unsuited for younger readers.

Behavioral Concerns: Some objectors claimed the books promote rebelliousness or unruly behavior in children.

Religious Confusion: Ironically, while Lewis wrote the books to mirror Christian theology, some conservative Christian groups later challenged the series fearing it introduced unbiblical magical elements or confused young readers.

Aaron one of our amazing new interns here at Nurturing Selves, is exploring the idea of conducting science experiments and connecting therapeutic values to these experiments. The goal is to make science and healing fun and engaging!

We are looking for feedback based on what days, times, and interests there are for this. Filling out this survey will help us know what our groups could look like, what experiments are interesting, and what therapeutic values are bringing interest to our community.

Expressive Play Therapy.
“You learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a lifetime of conversation” - Plato

Our office spaces are carefully designed, specifically tailored to allow healing interactions between the therapist and your child, allowing the child to use the toys and their play to tell their story and identify healthy ways to interact in their world.

As an example, children are often more comfortable talking with or to a puppet about difficult or stressful experiences. At Nurturing Selves, we offer a large variety of high quality puppets as well as simple puppets from socks or spoons that the child can create themselves, to use as a "safe" method of communicating, or build confidence in sharing with others.

Did you know that October 4th-10th is deemed Banned Book Week by the American Library Association?

We have decided to display some of our collection of banned books throughout the month of October!

Our First Banned Book of the Week....

Where’s Waldo?
The Book Where’s Waldo was BANNED in the U.S. beginning locally in 1989 in Saginaw, Michigan. Where’s Waldo? by Martin Handford was challenged and BANNED from U.S. schools and libraries in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In 1989, in Saginaw, Michigan: The book was challenged at the Saginaw Public Libraries because of a tiny illustration considered inappropriate.
In 1993, in East Hampton, New York: A school library removed the book after a parent complained about a tiny topless woman sunbathing in the “On the Beach” illustration. The woman was only a very small figure among hundreds of characters in the illustrated scene.
The concern was primarily nudity and sexual content. The controversy became significant enough that Where’s Waldo? appeared on the American Library Association's list of the 100 most frequently BANNED books of the 1990s.
In 1997, a revised, special edition changed the illustration so that the topless woman was wearing a bikini top.
Check out our copy of Where’s Waldo? In our BANNED book section of the Nurturing Selves library.

Now that Labor Day is over, our office staff has gotten a little… skeletal. 💀

“What do you call a skeleton that won’t work…” Well what do you call a skeleton that WILL?!

Teamwork makes the dream work. Apparently, so does a little calcium.

We hope you had a restful holiday!!
