There is no doubt in the importance of creativity and play in the development of children. Both researchers and clinicians emphasis on providing enough time and space for the kids for them to re-experience their daily happenings in a different circumstance, where they have thorough control over everything. Try and error in art/play activities, help children in developing decision-making and problem-solution skills while helping them make more sense out of their daily experiences. Art therapy provides such try and error space for your kids.
Kids with behavioural problems, anxiety disorders, depression, school refusal behaviour, divorce reaction, peer/ sibling conflicts, unresolved grief, anger issues, temper tantrums, reactions to life transitions, bullying/intimidation, low self-esteem, Enuesis (bed-wetting), etc… can benefit from art therapy to diminish the problematic behaviours.
