Play Therapy allows the Child -to explore difficult Feelings 

About me

What is Play?  How does it help children
   

Play, mental health and wellbeing PDF
Play is a natural form of self-expression, a medium for experimentation, communication and learning.  Through play a child can make sense of feelings, frustrations and new experiences.  Play can be joyful and care free but also serious work. Play can connect a child with his or her inner self, and through Play a child can develop the skills needed for relationship.  Playing together can help families communicate better  and in the case of peers, it would promote learning to share and deepen friendships.
 Play can help a child in many ways:
*  by promoting the development of physical skills.
*  experiencing and understanding emotions.  
*  experiencing and learning what is 'me' and what is 'not me'.                             
*  acting out difficult situations.
*  practising different roles and activities of daily life.  
*  relaxing and having fun.
