play therapy
Play therapy is an evidence based treatment modality that allows children to express their feelings through toys rather than words. Play is a critical part of child development and a natural form of expression for children. Play relieves stress and boredom, connects us to others, inspires creative thinking, regulates our feelings, and boosts our self-esteem. Children learn to work through problems, master skills, and increase overall frustration tolerance through play.
