This evidence-based program is designed to bring families closer through engaging, collaborative Lego-building activities. It’s a fun and interactive way to help families strengthen communication, build trust, improve patience, and develop problem-solving skills—all in a playful and supportive environment.
Weekly Sessions: Each session will focus on different themes related to family dynamics, communication, and teamwork. These themes will be explored through Lego® building tasks that require collaboration between the child and parent.
Small Group Format: With only 5 children and 5 parents per group, each family will receive individual attention, ensuring that the activities are meaningful and tailored to their unique needs.
Guided Play: A trained facilitator will guide each session, providing insight, support, and strategies for building stronger relationships and overcoming challenges that may arise during the activities.
Improved Communication: Families learn to communicate more effectively by discussing strategies, solving problems, and giving each other constructive feedback. These skills can be transferred to everyday conversations and conflict resolution.
Building Trust and Patience: Lego therapy requires families to rely on each other, fostering trust. Additionally, working through challenges together helps build patience and teaches both parents and children how to support one another.
Problem-Solving and Creativity: Each session presents challenges that require critical thinking, creative solutions, and teamwork. Children and parents alike can enhance their problem-solving abilities in a fun and low-pressure environment.
Emotional Regulation: Engaging in shared activities can help children learn how to regulate their emotions when faced with frustration or difficulty, while parents can model calm and supportive behaviour. This helps both parties manage emotions more effectively in other areas of life.
