About
Play Therapy
for
children:
Therapists
use play
therapy for
many
reasons.
Play
promotes
healthy
development.
Play helps
build a
positive
relationship
between the
therapist
and the
client. Play
is fun and
helps to
engage the
child in the
therapy
session.
And,
children can
often
communicate
their
difficulties
more
effectively
through play
than they
can through
language.
Children
are brought
into Play
Therapy to
safely
address and
resolve
their
problems.
Often, by
the time
children
arrive for
therapy,
they have
used up all
of their
options for
solving
their
problems and
simply do
not know
what else to
do.
Play
Therapy can
help
children and
others to:
-
Take
responsibility
for
their
behavior
and
replace
inappropriate
behavior
with
more
successful
behavior.
-
Develop
new and
creative
solutions
for
their
problems.
-
Develop
respect
and
acceptance
of
themselves
and
others.
-
Learn
to
experience
and
express
emotion
and to
empathic
with
respect
to the
thoughts
and
feelings
of
others.
-
Learn
new
social
skills.
Research
shows that
is takes an
average of
twenty play
therapy
visits to
resolve the
problems of
the typical
child coming
to
treatment.
Of course
some
children
will improve
much faster,
while more
serious or
ongoing
problems may
take longer
to resolve.
