What Psychologists Think About Play Therapy

By Charles Hughes


Young children go through a range of emotions when they suffer from various issues in life. It can be difficult to spot this at times because kids usually keep their problems to themselves. However, it is important to be aware of the signs because often when it is bothersome, it can affect them for many years, and often into their adult years as well. Play therapy can be a good way of getting to the root of the problem.

They also begin to draw or paint. They are involved in the creative process and this helps them to express themselves. This is the main problem with kids and the issues that they have. They are not always willing to tell mom or dad how they feel. Usually they will act out their frustration, so it is important for parents to take note of this behaviour.

They may have trust issues when they have been through some trauma. Some kids don't like talking about their family. They can only sit still for a certain amount of time before they begin to fidget and lose focus. This is especially the case with a child who has attention deficit disorder. They have a lot of energy that they need to burn off.

This is why this type of therapy is more natural. Children are used to playing games and drawing pictures. It helps relax them, and they will begin to enjoy these sessions. They will also begin to connect with the therapist in a more natural way. This can happen as they play games with the therapist. Over time, they may begin to communicate and interact with the therapist.

This is something to consider because children who lose a loved one should also be counselled. This is the more natural way of receiving treatment. Kids don't always concentrate very well during a session of talk therapy. This is the more traditional approach and they are often resistant to this therapy. Sometimes, they just don't want to receive help.

It is important for the therapist to know when is the right time to communicate with the child. Usually she will know because of her experience. They will be in tune with their emotions. During the initial stages, the therapist will hold back, but as time goes by and the relationship grows, it is safe to questions them about the way in which they are interacting with their toys.

During this time, the child is able to release a lot of emotions that they may have been holding it. This can relate to aggression or fear. They are often disappointed about something and become sad. This can be seen in the way in which they play with various toys. Over time, the non-verbal therapy will become more verbal in natural as the youngster connects with the therapist.

A therapist will look at their strengths and help them to develop various social skills which can help their confidence grow. Over time, the child will become more assertive. Through this, they will find it easier to make friends and to adjust to a new routine or an environment. Parents need to ask the teacher whether there is anything to worry about or whether the child needs should look into these types of techniques, helping them to persevere.
