Writing Therapies

We love writing!

Stay N Play Writing Therapies is an innovative programme uniquely designed to enhance children’s writing and penmanship skills through engaging dog-themed activities. Our mission is to inspire children by integrating the excitement and affection of canine companions into the learning process, making writing a fun and enjoyable experience. 

Understanding that writing is a crucial skill for academic success and personal expression, our programme specifically targets the common challenges children face in writing. These include everything from developing fine motor skills necessary for penmanship to building confidence in their ability to communicate through written words. By incorporating therapy dogs into our sessions, we provide a relaxed and stimulating environment that encourages children to engage more deeply and enthusiastically with writing tasks. 

Paws & pens!

Each session is thoughtfully designed to include dog-themed writing exercises that captivate children’s interest and imagination. For instance, children might be asked to write stories from a dog’s perspective, create descriptive paragraphs about their favourite breed, or compose letters to an imaginary canine friend. These exercises not only make writing more relatable and less daunting but also help in reinforcing the emotional and educational benefits of writing. 

The presence of therapy dogs during these sessions adds a layer of comfort and reduces anxiety, which is particularly beneficial for children who struggle with writing due to nervousness or fear of making mistakes. The unconditional acceptance they feel from the dogs boosts their self-esteem and willingness to try new writing challenges. 

Passion for Lifelong Learning

Stay N Play Writing Therapies is committed to not just improving writing skills but also fostering a lifelong passion for writing in young learners. Through our unique blend of canine interaction and specialised writing exercises, we aim to equip children with the skills and confidence needed to express themselves effectively and creatively.
