For the child, play is serious, purposeful, and useful as a tool for knowing about the world. Play is essential for healthy developmental mentally, physically and socially. Play also serves as language for children, a practicing for life in which they can work through confusion, anxieties and conflicts. Play therapy is the treatment of choice for many of the problems children bring into treatment. As a play therapist I work with very young children and even incorporate play with teens, adults, and families.
