When To 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.

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.

Often, parents will merely think that it is a stage or they are going through a time where they are becoming naughty and it can be difficult to discipline them. This is where they will go to a therapist, and they will find out more about the situation. A tantrum, for example can relate to a lot of things in a child's life. This is often a way of a child expressing their frustration, anger or sadness.

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.

An example of this is where they are drawing something. It is the colours that they use and how long they take to complete the project. They are honest at what they do, if you compare them to an older person. This is how they begin to communicate and often it is a cry for help. They may draw their home without windows or doors. This is a sign of some form of abuse.

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.

Children often feel as if they are not allowed to talk about what is bothering them at home. They don't know how parents will respond. Sometimes, they take more time to get this off their chest, but therapists are trained to be patient, and this makes a big difference. Therapists are compassionate and understanding which help the child feel that they can express their feelings.
