Therapy helps kids who have gone through hard times or big changes. Through play and skill building, they learn to express themselves and develop ways to better manage their feelings and behavior. Parents are really important in therapy because you know your child best and your relationship is a big key to their success. Therapy helps create understanding, build communication and strengthen your relationship with your child.
Therapy can also help your child:
- Decrease anxiety, fears, defiance or aggression
