Toys are children's words and play is their language. The materials carefully chosen will create a safe and fun space. Costumes aid in expressing creativity and working through situational stressors. For example, a child that witnessed a parent being arrested may express this in a police costume in a safe space. They will have the opportunity to work out aggression with a therapeutic bop bag. We will work on social skills through art therapy. I will use sand play therapy and dollhouse materials to help children recreate situations or experiences they are struggling with. My goal is to create a welcoming, fun area where children will feel safe and loved. Through play therapy, children learn to communicate with others, express feelings, modify behavior, develop problem-solving skills, and learn a variety of ways of relating to others. Please help me to create a therapeutic relationship for our students.
