Fantasy, sillyness, and whimsy are necessary ingredients when caring for children in any capacity, especially as a therapist. In some ways working with my kiddos can be like stepping into a Dr Seuss book, where up is down and fish can fly.
If you haven't lately, try to change your perspective about the "odd things" your clients do, and see things from their perspective. Similar to reading a Dr Seuss book, it could be an out of this world experience.
“Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.”
Dr Seuss, Writer/Cartoonist, March 1904 - September 1991
