Core services

Six ways we work

Every engagement starts with understanding the child. What follows is chosen from these six, alone or in combination.

01

Child Behaviour & Development Analysis

A structured read of how your child learns, responds and regulates — before any plan is made.

Every engagement begins with understanding. Through observation, guided activity and conversation with parents, we map your child’s behavioural patterns, learning style and stage of development. The outcome is a clear picture of strengths and pressure points that everything else is built on.

What’s included

  • Structured observation across play and task settings
  • Parent intake conversation and developmental history
  • Learning-style and behavioural pattern mapping
  • A written summary with practical next steps

Neuro-Art Therapy

Fine art, woodwork, printmaking and sculpture used deliberately to support brain development.

Children are born with remarkably plastic brains — naturally wired for curiosity, exploration and imagination. Neuro-Art Therapy channels that plasticity through fine art techniques inspired by world-renowned artists, alongside woodwork, printmaking, collage and sculpture. Each session is aligned to the child’s age and stage of neuroplastic development, so the work supports cognitive growth and emotional regulation rather than simply producing art.

What’s included

  • Age-aligned fine art and mixed-media practice
  • Ambidextrous exercises for balanced brain development
  • Structured play planning and brainstorming
  • Progress tracked across cognitive and emotional markers
Best for
Children building focus, regulation and confidence

03

Bibliotherapy

Carefully chosen stories that give a child language for what they are feeling.

Bibliotherapy uses literature as a therapeutic instrument. Books are selected to match what a child is working through — a transition, a fear, a friendship difficulty, a loss — and the reading is guided so the story becomes a safe place to name and examine feelings. Discussion, journalling and creative response turn reading into insight.

What’s included

  • Curated reading matched to the child’s situation and age
  • Guided discussion and reflective questioning
  • Creative written and visual responses to text
  • Reading suggestions parents can continue at home
Best for
Children processing change, anxiety or big feelings

Emotional & Social Skills Support

Practising the everyday skills of friendship, conversation and self-regulation.

Social confidence is learned, not assumed. These sessions give children a low-pressure setting to rehearse the mechanics of connection — reading cues, taking turns, disagreeing safely, recovering from conflict — and to build a working vocabulary for their own emotional states.

What’s included

  • Communication and conversation practice
  • Emotion identification and regulation strategies
  • Turn-taking, collaboration and conflict repair
  • Confidence building through structured play formats
Best for
Children who find peer settings difficult

05

Creative & Expressive Therapy Sessions

Creative writing, storytelling and research-led work for children who think on paper.

For many children, expression comes more easily through making than through talking. These sessions combine creative writing, storytelling and research-encouraging projects with expressive art, giving children a craft they can keep — and a reliable outlet when words are hard to find.

What’s included

  • Creative writing and storytelling craft
  • Research-encouraging projects and enrichment work
  • Expressive art, collage and sculpture
  • Saturday sessions and holiday workshops

Children drawn to writing, stories and making

Questions

Frequently asked

What is Neuro-Art Therapy?

Neuro-Art Therapy uses fine art techniques, woodwork, printmaking, collage and sculpture as a deliberate tool for brain development. Sessions are aligned to a child’s age and stage of neuroplastic development and integrate structured play planning, brainstorming, creative writing and ambidextrous practices, so the work supports cognitive growth and emotional intelligence rather than only producing artwork.

What is Bibliotherapy, and how does it help a child?

Bibliotherapy uses carefully chosen books as a therapeutic instrument. Reading is selected to match what a child is working through and then guided through discussion, journalling and creative response, so the story becomes a safe way to name and examine difficult feelings.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. Pineappletales runs both offline sessions at the Gotri Road studio in Vadodara and online sessions for families elsewhere in India and abroad. Writing and Neuro-Art workshops are available in both formats.

Where is Pineappletales located?

The studio is at 5/6 Mangal Murti Society, opposite Mother’s School, Gotri Road, Vadodara, Gujarat 390021, India.

How does an engagement usually begin?

It begins with a child behaviour and development analysis — structured observation plus a conversation with parents about developmental history and current concerns. That analysis determines which sessions, workshops or home curriculum are recommended.

Do you work with schools, NGOs and libraries?

Yes. Pineappletales designs school workshops and enrichment programmes, storytelling and creative writing initiatives, and customised collaborative projects for schools, NGOs, libraries and community groups.
