Play therapist Ashlie West went into children's mental health because, in her words, kids are easier than adults. A graduate school mentor asked her one question that changed that: what happens after the session, when the child goes back to the same world?

In this conversation, Ashlie and Elizabeth talk about what that question taught her. They get into what constant screens are doing to children's attention and mood, why behavior change often gets worse before it gets better, and why a dysregulated parent cannot parent a dysregulated child into calm.

Ashlie explains how play works as a child's first language, what a single sand tray can reveal that a child cannot say out loud, and why she brings parents into the work from the second appointment. Along the way, both women admit how hard it is to put the phone down, to play without an agenda, and to apologize to a kid.

The takeaway is steady and hopeful: if parents can accidentally teach a child something unhelpful, they can intentionally teach something better.
