In this episode, I respond to a question from Mara in North Carolina—and a handful of other listeners—about working with very young children in Child-Centered Play Therapy, specifically those under the age of five. I share what you can expect when seeing toddlers and preschoolers in the playroom, including how their play differs, what sessions often look like, and how the process tends to unfold at a much faster pace. I also talk through common concerns like session length, speech challenges, attachment to caregivers, and the tendency toward repetitive play. While the CCPT model stays the same, younger clients show us the power of the process in a condensed and accelerated form. This episode is a great resource for anyone working with—or considering taking on—younger kids in the playroom. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

One aspect I believe that kids ministry leaders should always be learning and growing in is our ability to teach good theology to kids of all ages. It's hard and I can attest that I have even grown leaps and bounds in this area and partially because I've personally grown in my love and knowledge of God. We can't teach what we don't know and believe.  Over the next couple months, we are sprinkling in episodes that help us grow in knowledge around a specific doctrine or theological conversation and help us grow in practice as we go out and teach our kids and families good theology about a good God. To kick this season off, I wanted to invite my new friend Josh Zello on the podcast. I've seen Josh launch Jesus Loves Preschoolers, but what I didn't know is that he has years of experience and education in early childhood. Josh helps us learn new ways to teach our preschool friends the Gospel story in a way that they will understand. This is definitely a note-taking episode. I learned SO much and cannot wait for you to hear this episode with Josh. Resources Mentioned:Jesus Loves Preschoolers@joshuazello
