You may find it interesting to note that play is our first language, according to the (click link) Association for Play Therapy (APT). Just as words are used to communicate, young and older people can use play to express thoughts and feelings that might otherwise remain hidden.

Once deeply hidden impressions are expressed, problem solving and healing can begin.
