Growing Leaders
Growing Leaders is a small therapeutic play group that supports young children in building social confidence through connection and play.
Rather than directly teaching social skills, children learn through shared play experiences, practising:
Turn-taking and waiting
Leadership and following
Emotional awareness and regulation
Flexible thinking
Expressing wants and needs safely
Navigating inclusion and disappointment in peer settings
This group is grounded in Child-Centred Play Therapy, where children learn through experience, relationship, and play — not pressure.
Who is this group for?
Children aged 5–7 years - (Prep – Grade 2)
This is a small group with just 3 children in total and sessions are run by child and family therapist, Vineeta Giri.
