Play Therapy

21st Apr 2021

We are delighted to have Lisa from Shine Play Therapy joining us for Term 3.

Play is a child’s natural medium for self-expression. Through play, they can make sense of their feelings and the world in which they live. Play therapy gives children the opportunity to play out their feelings and problems with a therapeutic objective, unlocking their potential for self-growth. It helps children to develop physically, emotionally and socially. It fosters imagination and creativity and encourages confidence and concentration. It helps children to make friends and learn about their ever expanding world as well as make mistakes safely.
The child is neither praised nor blamed. There is no judgment, no right or wrong. By providing a free atmosphere within safe boundaries the supportive therapist allows the child complete freedom to express themselves physically, verbally or with play things.

 

Look at some of the wonderful play opportunities our children have experienced with Lisa from Shine Play Therapy.
