Children & Play Therapy - Monica Erdosh

Children need to express themselves as much as adults, yet their mode of expression is profoundly different. Sandtray, games, dolls, coloring?all are ways to get into the world of a child. Sometimes adults unintentionally want their young children to express their feelings with words but children need to communicate through play. Children also express much of their sorrow, anger and frustration by behaving in attention-seeking ways. It is our job as adults to help children express their feelings without causing them shame or injury. My sandtray and collection of sandtray figures is a big hit with children, as they have the opportunity to use their imagination to create a personal story that ALWAYS speaks to their TRUE feelings.
