Toys are children's words and play is their language"

Supporting Your Child’s Emotional Journey
Through Play Therapy
It can feel difficult seeing your child struggling or unhappy. Knowing they are
grappling with frustration, anger, aggression, anxiety, or fear can result in feelings of
helplessness as the parent. Play therapy offers a compassionate and effective
approach to help children work through these difficulties by fostering their
development and healing. In a safe and nurturing environment, children can express
themselves, process their experiences, and build essential coping skills. By working
together, we can better understand your child’s struggles and create a plan to
support them in the best way.
