In our child psychiatric day hospital service, like in most institutions working with children, the work with the family is essential. For this purpose, our hospital sets up family "classical" interviews but gives, also a welcoming attention to parents in the morning and in the afternoon. Besides. it happens regularly that parents are invited to come and work with their child in the workshops. These workshops call have various content: psychomotricity. swimming, climbing, cooking, art... In the team meeting. the workshop's purpose is discussed before inviting the father or the mother or both parents. This paper develops our workshops' methodology from practical examples and describes the goals aimed at for the child, his family and the team.
