For parents, nothing is more important than caring to our children. Sometimes though, a young child can experience emotional or behavioral challenges that leave parents stumped and overwhelmed. In today's episode, we speak with a Greenville, SC counseling expert about how young children (ages 10 and under especially) benefit from play therapy. Play therapy is a counseling approach that helps children deal with and recover from challenges such as anxiety, grief, trauma, family dynamic problems, behavioral challenges, and more. Join Jonathan Kittel and Margaret Kay Ko, licensed counselors and mental health experts at Wellspring Counseling (www.wellspringgreenville.com), as they discuss these matters. In this episode, we address the specific approach of "Child-Centered Play Therapy," the role of Play in counseling, the counselor's role in this process, the common challenges that improve due to play therapy, and describe the role of parents in the therapy process. Lastly, we discuss it makes sense for parents to seek professional support.
