A New Clinical Method Of Therapy Is Here

By Ronald Lewis


Children are a joy to watch and have. These little angels give life and laughter to homes. A home is quiet and dreary without their presence. They are cute and lovable and can be very funny at times. Parents give them special attention as they grow under their watchful gaze. Sadly, there are some who are born with brain deficiencies. One does not have to worry. They can engage the services of a therapist who has child centered play therapy certification.

As children enter into the toddler stage, they will begin to show signs of normalcy. Uncommon behavior becomes apparent at this stage and it will be easy for an observant parent or guardian to see this. Guardian and parent should be very keen on handling this kind of situation. The best action is to refer the case to a medical expert. Even then, some cases are known to have been misdiagnosed as an illness which complicates matters even more.

The problems of children are compounded on their way to growth. This is brought about by the failure of adults who are with them to understand and react to what they are communicating or feeling. This gap between child and adult widens as adults continue to insist on imposing their own method of communication which is the familiar adult to adult way.

Verbally interacting with children orally is forcing them to use a method that they are still trying of learning and are inadequate to be comfortable with. It makes restricts them and make them feel awkward that is why they shy away from verbal tussles. It takes years of development before a tot will feel at ease with using the spoken word.

Expressing by way of playing acts as a verbal expression of a child as speech is for adults. Carefully observing a child playing can make the observer discern very quickly that the activity is for at tot, a medium for self fulfillment, for exploring friendships, displaying wishes, acting out experiences, and expressing emotions. Play therapy uses an approach of being with children than enforcing on them.

Kids display more of themselves when they talk about things that are to his or her liking. Asking first about what the favorite toys are, the things he likes, his pets, friends will get far better responses than asking the kid about his problems. This concept is geared towards the development of a young tot. This will allow children to sort things out through communicating on a medium that is comfortable to them.

The development of language in youngsters lags behind the development of their ability for recognition. That is why kids often have imaginary friends. Their world is a world of play, fantasy, imagination, and make believe. This therapy makes use of toys and views them as a means of expression that kids are adept and familiar with. The use of toys allows children to expunge anxieties, fears, and bad feelings to objects rather than to people.

This type of clinical approach makes use of playing to allow kids to find expression of their hidden paradise. Toys are employed as a symbolic representation of actual events that they cannot communicate verbally. This fits well with them. Acting out negative experiences gives will give them an idea of how to face challenges and how to solve problems.

The association for play therapy offers three types of certification options. These are the registered therapist, registered therapist supervisor, and lastly, the school based registered therapist. To earn these credentials, one must have a masters degree in child development and adolescent psychotherapy or its related field. He or she must also have two thousand hours up to five thousand hours of clinical experience.
