🌈 Introduction
For children, play is more than fun — it’s communication, learning, and healing. At Sunshine Therapy Centre, we use play as a powerful tool to help children express emotions, build confidence, and develop essential life skills.
Through Play Therapy, children explore feelings, understand their experiences, and learn coping strategies in a safe, supportive environment.
🧸 What Is Play Therapy?
Play Therapy is a structured form of therapy that uses play as a medium to help children express what they cannot put into words. It’s especially helpful for children facing developmental delays, behavioral challenges, trauma, or communication difficulties.
In Play Therapy sessions, children interact with toys, art materials, and games — each activity carefully chosen to match their emotional and developmental needs.
💬 Why Play Matters in Therapy
1️⃣ Emotional Expression
Many children find it hard to explain what they feel. Play gives them a natural outlet to express sadness, fear, or anger in a safe way.
2️⃣ Boosts Social and Communication Skills
Through guided play, children learn to take turns, share, and communicate — essential skills for building healthy relationships.
3️⃣ Encourages Problem-Solving and Creativity
Play Therapy encourages thinking, planning, and imagination. It helps children make decisions, build stories, and solve challenges confidently.
4️⃣ Builds Confidence and Reduces Anxiety
As children engage in success-based play activities, they develop a sense of mastery and self-esteem — transforming anxiety into accomplishment.
