Play Therapy Basics: Entering a Child’s World

Play therapy is a specialized form of therapy designed for young children. It involves the use of toys, art supplies, and other play materials to help children communicate their thoughts and emotions in a way that feels natural to them. As Dr. Davis emphasized, “Birds fly, fish swim, children play.” Since play is the language of children, it is essential to meet them where they are developmentally. Play therapy is more than just play—it is a structured, evidence-based approach that fosters healing and growth in children. By entering a child’s world through play, therapists can help them navigate emotions, develop essential life skills, and build a stronger sense of self-worth.
