Play Therapy for Children
Play is a child’s way of communicating, just as adults use words. Play Therapy encourages an open and voluntary communication, reducing stress and building trust. Children learn to regulate their emotions as their self-esteem is elevated. This open communication fosters learning while promoting acceptable behavior and creative problem-solving. Play Therapy is a creative and healthy way to foster critical development in your child. Through play, children learn to:
- express feelings in a healthy way
- modify behavior
- develop problem-solving skills
- improve self-esteem
- relate to others in a healthy way
