In this article, we introduce the components of graduate play therapy instruction and the impact of COVID-19. Next, we provide examples of how instructors adapted graduate play therapy courses for virtual learning in response to COVID-19. Student feedback and directions for future research are presented.

This study piloted an online play-based parenting program informed by filial therapy, child-parent relationship therapy, and interpersonal neurobiology during COVID-19. The purpose of this program evaluation was to explore its potential effectiveness in improving child behaviors, mindful parenting, parent-child relationship quality, and protective factors. This study used a mixed method design to gather quantitative data from standardized measures and qualitative data from surveys. Parents of children 4-10 years old (N = 11) participated in 6 weekly 1.5-hr sessions which included teaching a new skill, asking questions, offering support, and sharing video or descriptions about using play-based parenting skills at home. Quantitative results showed significant differences before to after program participation in mindful discipline in parenting and social support as a protective factor. Changes in child's peer interactions (i.e., siblings, classmates) approached significance. There were no other significant differences. Qualitative findings suggested a positive impact of the program that supported quantitative results, and perhaps, expanded upon what was not captured by the quantitative measures in the area of parent-child relationships. While the results are limited by small sample size and low statistical power, these findings suggest some support for the updated online play-based parenting programs in meeting parenting needs during COVID-19.
