We cannot communicate with someone if we do not speak the same language and the children's language is play.  Play allows them to get to know themselves, others and the environment around them. While playing, they begin to discover and regulate their emotions, they learn to face their fears and conquer them, they develop physical, social and emotional skills, they discover new ways to solve problems, they create.

​​

By playing with others, children learn to lose and win, to share, to embrace differences and to express their needs verbally.

​​

Play heals, it allows children to express how they perceive the world and helps them find meaning in what is difficult to understand.

​

As a play therapist, I understand that it can be difficult for children to put into words what they need to say, but just like adults when they call a friend to tell them about their problems or seek professional help, they have something to express. Finding someone who understands them, accepts and guides them through the process of emotional healing, is essential for therapeutic success.
