Play Heals.
Play can provide a way to express deep feelings, conflict, hopes and fears. It taps into the natural self-healing capacity of the child.
Play is vital to every child's social, emotional, cognitive, physical and creative development. It helps make learning concrete for all children and young people including those for whom verbal communication may be difficult.
