Play Therapy Counseling Designed Especially for Children Georgia CTAE Resource Network Instructional Resources Office July 2009

“What’s wrong?” Merely asking a child what is wrong or “Is something bothering you?” is ineffective. Children are not able to verbalize adequately their feelings or verbally describe frightening or traumatic experiences in their lives until approximately age 10.

Communicate feelings Toys act as the child’s words and play is the child’s language. Play therapy is to children what counseling or psychotherapy is to adults. Play therapy is the recommended approach to help a child when there is concern about their behavior, difficulty adjusting, or inability to cope.

Symbolic language and self expression can reveal… What the child has experienced Reactions to what was experienced Feelings about what was experienced What the child wishes, wants, or needs The child’s perception of self

Relationship and Setting A play therapist creates an accepting relationship in which a child feels completely safe to express himself through his play – fears, likes, dislikes, wishes, anger, loneliness, joy, or feelings of failure.

There are NO… Reprimands Put-downs Evaluations Requirements to draw pictures a certain way Judgments (about the child or his play as being good or bad, right or wrong)

A child learns… To accept him/herself He/she is worthwhile His/her feelings are acceptable To control the expression of his/her feelings To assume responsibility for him/herself To be creative and resourceful in confronting problems, self-control, and self- direction To make choices and be responsible for those choices

Rules when relating to children… Children… Are not miniature adults Are people Are unique and worthy or respect Are resilient Have an inherent tendency toward growth and maturity Are capable of positive self-direction ‘s natural language is play Have a right to remain silent Will take the therapeutic experience to where they need to be ‘s growth cannot be rushed
