What Psychologists Think About Play Therapy

By Charles Hughes


Children will have many problems to deal with, just like adults do. Even very young children will struggle in one way or another. It is important for parents to notice a change in behaviour or certain signs that stand out. Sometimes, this will be a stage, but often it can drag on. Play therapy is something that has been very successful and many parents have been encouraged by this.

A lot of parents think that their kids get angry or throw tantrums because this is just part of their personality. However, there are reasons why some children become more volatile. Kids sometimes are very frustrated because there is a problem in their lives which parents are not aware of. Kids don't know what this is either, but they are definitely frustrated about it.

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.

Many kids will show these signs of emotions when they have autism or when they attention deficit disorder. A therapist will be able to tell more about what they are going through by the way they express themselves. The non-verbal process is very important. It is the verbal process that is always emphasized. But you can tell so much by looking at how kids act without them even saying a word.

This relationship is very important because they should become more attached to here. They should develop a great sense of trust for her. It should be a place where they feel that they are safe and where they feel that they are comfortable. It is already a comfort because of the fact that they are surrounded by toys and games.

A therapist who deals with play will know the way in bringing out the best in each child. This can be with games and puzzles or toys or various other activities. They may use imaginary play as a way in which the child learns to discover more about the problem that is bothering them and they will then begin to express themselves.

Children don't usually have control over the situation. This is something that frustrates them more. They obviously don't want their parents to get divorced, and this can lead to a whole new set of emotions. They may be feeling ashamed of themselves, thinking this is their fault. The therapist will pick this up as they progress over the sessions.

It is important to focus on the relationship. This is what any good therapist will do. Not two children are the same and they will connect with the therapist at different rates. There are various factors that come into play. The therapist has various methods and techniques that they will use. It can be a long process, depending on the personality of the child and how trusting they are. An experienced therapist will know how to reach these goals.
