PLAY PRESCRIPTION® KITS
Separation Edition
A practical kit for understanding and responding to separation through the Play Prescription® Framework.
Get the Separation Edition →You can't control what happens in the other home.
You can't control what is said.
You can't control the routines.
You can't control how your child experiences the time they're apart from you.
And if you're honest that's one of the hardest parts.
Because every difficult handover. Every unexpected meltdown. Every change in behaviour. Every tearful goodbye. Leaves you wondering
"Am I doing enough?"
"Am I missing something?"
"What does my child actually need from me right now?"
Most parents aren't looking for perfect parenting. They're looking for something much simpler.
A way to understand what's happening so they know where to begin.
THE PROBLEM
Children aren't problems to solve. They're experiences to understand.
Most advice tells you what to do. Say this. Don't say that. Try this strategy. Set this boundary. Stay calm. But children aren't problems to solve. They're experiences to understand. As a child therapist, I don't begin by asking, "How do we stop this behaviour?" I begin by asking, "What might this child be experiencing?"
Because when understanding changes, everything else begins to change too.
THE KIT
That's why I created the Play Prescription® Kits — Separation Edition.
Not to give you another parenting course. Not to overwhelm you with psychology. But to give you a practical framework you can return to whenever separation feels difficult. Using the Play Prescription® Framework, you'll learn to look beyond behaviour, understand what may be happening beneath the surface, and respond with greater confidence, curiosity and connection.
Because when understanding changes, everything else begins to change too.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
Because when you see your child differently, you naturally begin responding differently.
Most separation resources focus on changing behaviour. This edition helps you understand behaviour.
Most parenting resources tell you what to do. This edition helps you understand why.

INSIDE THE SEPARATION EDITION
The framework, applied to separation
Childhood Experiences
👨👩👧👦Understand how children experience separation differently depending on their age, temperament, relationships and previous experiences. Learn what may be shaping your child's experience before jumping to solutions.
Self-Commitment & Inner Work
🪞Explore how your own experiences, fears, guilt and assumptions influence the way you interpret your child's behaviour. Because your child isn't the only one bringing a history into this relationship.
Needs Underlying Behaviour
🔎Learn how to look beneath behaviour to understand the emotional and developmental needs your child may be communicating. Stop asking, "How do I stop this?" Start asking, "What might my child need?"
The Role of Environment
🏠Discover how routines, transitions, predictability and emotional safety influence children's adjustment during separation. Focus on the parts of the environment you can thoughtfully shape.
Therapeutic Play
🧩Learn practical therapeutic play ideas that help children express experiences they don't yet have words for. Use play to strengthen connection, understanding and emotional safety.
YOUR PLAY PRESCRIPTION JOURNAL
This isn't simply a workbook.
It's a practical journal you'll complete as you move through the edition. Each section helps you.
Understand → Notice → Reflect → Apply → Experiment
By the end, you'll have created a personalised Play Prescription® for your own family that you can continue using long after you've finished the videos.
