Children and Play Based Therapy

Play based therapy helps children to express their thoughts and feelings using their primary mode of communication - play. When children are faced with difficult experiences or many stressors, they can struggle to work through their emotions in a healthy way. Every child is unique. Some act out at home, or in school, while others are more likely to become withdrawn. The use of play as a therapeutic tool takes away the pressure to talk about experiences that are often confusing or upsetting. Instead, play based therapy provides other opportunities for children to address their concerns in ways that fit their developmental needs. Play based therapists also provide information to children and their caregivers that teaches healthy coping skills and strategies to manage overwhelming emotions.
