What Parents Like About Play Therapy

By Virginia King


Children have issues with their lives just as much as their moms and dads. They can go through as stage of anger where they throw many tantrums. Some kids will become withdrawn and isolated. Other children will display a sudden change in behaviour, becoming hyperactive. It is important to be aware of these symptoms and basic changes. There are people who specialize in kids, such as with play therapy.

During this type of therapy, kids are exposed to a number of different ways in which their behaviour is exposed. They play with toys, get involved with imaginary play, take part in creative activities and choose what they want to do. This can be a lot more appealing than one on one therapy where kids become restless and don't enjoy the sessions.

Parents shouldn't feel week in parenting skills. It is a child psychologist who is trained in this area. They are experienced to know what symptoms to look for and whether the child needs to focus on something more specialized. Symptoms are also closely related, so one has to be careful when diagnosing something. That is why self diagnosing something is not recommended.

The therapist is able to gain their trust naturally as well. This can come in their own time as they work together with them in a more practical way. They will also begin to get an idea of what the child has been exposed to by the way in which they play and when they are engaged in imaginary play.

This practical type of play is helpful when children need to develop better communication skills or they need to solve problems and make decisions. However, the therapist can also discover more serious problems, such as whether there is abuse or violence that the child has been exposed to.

They have free choices in what they are able to create and make. The decision is theirs. They learn to express themselves and this leads to a good connection. This doesn't always happen with one on one interaction. This is why this type of therapy can be so effective. It helps the child to build up a relationship with the therapist. They will begin to gain their trust.

Once trust is established, the therapist can work more closely with them. They will be able to ask them questions about what they are doing. They often ask them how they are feeling and why they are feeling in a particular way. Parents are advised to let the therapist establish the relationship on their own and not to interrupt with this.

Obviously the experience should count as well. However, it is the connection which leads to a good relationship. This is usually the first thing one looks to with adult psychologists. But one can expect that it takes more time to connect with a child. It is also a skill and the therapist needs to do this gradually in order for this to go smoothly and for the relationship to be effective.
