The Role of Play Therapy in Helping with Childhood Anxiety
Anxiety in children is on the rise, with many kids struggling to navigate the pressures of modern life. Play therapy offers a unique and effective approach to help children process their feelings and build resilience.
How Play Therapy Helps:
Expression Through Play: Play therapy provides a safe space for children to express their fears and anxieties without needing to articulate them verbally.
Building Coping Skills: Through play, children learn techniques to manage stress, such as relaxation exercises and problem-solving strategies.
Strengthening Relationships: Play therapy often involves parents or caregivers, fostering stronger connections and support systems.
