Children and Play Therapy

When faced with difficult situations, adults are often at a loss to recognize and articulate their experiences. Children face this task with only a fraction of the experiences and expressive skills that adults have at their disposal. Children's natural way of expressing themselves is to play and act out their experiences and fears. Play therapy utilizes this and allows children to communicate and work through issues at their own pace. Careful observation and subtle guidance of the play allows for exploration and facilitation of resolutions, and building of methods to cope with life's problems.
