They lack the verbal and cognitive skills required to fully express themselves and talk about issues that they face. It can be more difficult if the child is experiencing a trauma or mental health condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFeelings such as grief or anger are complex. A child may not be able to process the feelings and related thoughts, making it difficult for them to deal with the issues. This is where play therapy comes in. It can help children learn how to deal with mental issues that are causing them distress. Play allows them to act out scenes that are similar to what they may be facing, work on addressing particular issues or even develop characters with similar emotions or feelings as theirs. It is a hands-on therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eChildren can use toys to express their feelings. For example, a child who has lost a parent or a sibling can use puppets to portray a character that misses a friend and feels sad. A dolls’ house can feature a child beneath their bed, hiding from parents who are fighting, to help a child that has experienced domestic violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA therapist can help during play to solve a problem based on the type of approach that is being implemented. The therapist can also simply observe how the child helps the toy character to overcome its emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eYou will learn\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul class=\"learn-mod\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe meaning of play therapy; what it is and what is involved\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the types of play therapy\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to use play therapy\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe tools and approaches that are often used in play therapy\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHow play therapy works\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe benefits of play therapy\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe qualities of a good therapist\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/staffskillsacademy.co.uk\/courses\/\"\u003efull library of training courses.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCourse Duration: 0.75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eModules\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTotal Modules: 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModule 01: Play Therapy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Staff Skills Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52854541877589,"sku":"3471","price":199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/2934\/2549\/files\/Play-Therapy-1024x530.png?v=1772529645","url":"https:\/\/courses.achieveuktraining.com\/products\/play-therapy-certification","provider":"uktraining","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
