CCPT Gamechangers: How to Respond When Adults Say Kids Are Rational

Episode #370 - CCPT Gamechangers: How to Respond When Adults Say Kids Are Rational Play Therapy Podcast with Dr. Brenna Hicks Episode Website Link: https://www.playtherapypodcast.com/cc... In this Game Changers episode, I tackle one of the most common objections we hear from adults: “If children aren’t rational or cognitive, how do they learn in school?” I explain why this question reflects an adulthood bias and how academic learning is often misunderstood as evidence of reasoning, logic, and abstract thinking. I break down the critical distinction between conditioned, repetitive learning and true cognitive processing, and why confusing the two leads adults to expect things from children that they simply are not developmentally capable of giving. I also offer a clear, practical way to respond when parents, teachers, or other professionals challenge the CCPT model on this point. By reframing school-based learning as memorization through repetition—rather than reasoning—we can help adults understand why children process their world emotionally and experientially, not verbally or logically. This episode gives you language, confidence, and a framework for engaging in these conversations in a way that protects the model, strengthens trust, and fundamentally changes how adults view children.
