Kim Feeney is a licensed independent social worker and a registered play therapist supervisor in Davenport, IA. She has over ten years of experience helping children and families lead healthier emotional lives so that they can effectively cope with big, baffling emotions. Believing all behavior is purpose-driven, she works with parents and children to find alternative ways to meet social and behavioral needs. 


In this episode we dive into:
- What play therapy is and how it fosters family connection
- how all behaviour is purpose driven and how to uncover the meaning behind it
- how to recognise your child's needs through their positive and negative behavior 
- tips for parents with attention seeking children
- healthy communication techniques for parents with difficult children
- how to support kids through big emotions
- how gratitude can help support depression in kids
- self regulating as a parent and setting an example for your children
- understanding how to speak to children to support them improving their own self-awareness
- and so much more!

Kim helps families through her 10 week program that allows parents and families the opportunity to foster deeper connection and build on their communication skills. Kim also has a webinar available called Tantrums to Talking which helps parents understand and support their kids behavior during emotionally heightened times.
