HELP CHILDREN EXPRESS THEIR FEARS
When a child’s fears become overwhelming they often turn to play to work things out. Children may not have the words to express their fears, but they have the play skills to act them out.
Play is a perfect place to work out what is going on in their little minds. It can also give parents a window into their child’s fears – https://tinyurl.com/2p83h7th
