PLAY THERAPY - It Takes A Lot of Slow To Grow....

Play therapy is an effective and powerful way to help children overcome problems and traumas they experience in their lives. Neutral limit setting and choice-giving facilitates children's development of responsibility and decision making skills.

The natural reaction of children is to re-enact or play out experiences in an effort to comprehend, overcome, reconcile, and develop a sense of control over their experiences. This repetitive playing out of experiences is the child’s natural self-healing process.

Play is children's most important (and uncensored) work. Play therapy is a theoretically, developmentally, and research-based approach to supporting this work. The keys to play therapy are to observe, facilitate, and reflect behaviors and emotional responses through children's natural play.

The basic healing messages of play therapy are:
I am here.
I hear you.
I understand.
I care.
