How Does Play Therapy work? Play is a your child’s job. Children learn though play, and they communicate to themselves and to us through play. It’s their job and it’s their language. S/he can choose to play board games, Lego’s, sand tray, puppets, card games, do art, or do magic tricks. The REAL magic trick with Play Therapy is that while children play and have fun, they show themselves, work through confusion, and integrate their feelings. What Will the Outcome Be?
