Summary:
In this article, “Kids’ Emotions in Play Therapy” the author discusses that play with our kids is a useful way because it will help us to know about their emotions and what they feel. Some children are suffering after shock but they can’t talk about their feelings. We can help them to express their emotions by playing at home or asking a good psychologist to help. At home, we can play with them in different ways. Such as, drawing pictures and talking about it, reading stories which talk about something similar with what they feel and express our emotions to let them know that we are suffering from something but we will feel better when we talk. Other wise, we can visit a professional psychologist to help our kids.
