Have you ever asked your child: "Why did you do that?" and received the response: "I don't know"? Children and adolescents are not developmentally able to always answer why they are feeling a certain way or provide rationale for decision making. Expressive therapies, including art and play therapy, are evidence-based approaches that allow children to speak their natural language.
With a trained professional, your child may be able to process emotions, develop problem-solving skills, improve coping, and grow their independence. Play and art therapies are appropriate for children with conduct issues, attention problems, difficulty managing emotions and much more.
