Play therapy is one of the tools we at Kids Inc. utilize to communicate with and help children. Through the freedom of play, the therapist can both observe the child and guide them toward healing. Play may also help determine the cause of problematic behavior.
Develop respect and acceptance of self and others.
Learn to experience and express emotion.
Cultivate empathy and respect for thoughts and feelings of others.
Learn new social skills and relational skills with family.
