Why Play Therapy ?
You may be wondering, what is play therapy anyway? Well, talking is fine if language is helpful for you to express yourself. But even sometimes language fails us adults. A tender moment brings us to tears. A hug calms us. Words are often not enough. Words are finite, they are limited to the words you know, your ability to use them. According to the American Association of Play Therapy, play helps children express themselves in ways that words alone cannot. Of course, speaking with children is important and can bring understanding. But words allow a child to use their feeling, emoting right brain. So do your child a favour. Let them use the language that is strongest for them.
