Child Therapy
Play is a natural and essential part of childhood development. But for some kids, play can
also serve as a powerful tool for healing and growth. Child play therapy is a type of therapy
that uses play as a means of communication to help children express their emotions and
experiences.
Why Child Therapy Works
Play therapy works because it provides children with a safe and non-threatening
environment to express themselves. Children often find it easier to communicate through
play than through verbal conversation. Play therapy allows children to work through their
emotions, experiences, and challenges in a way that is natural and meaningful to them.
