This book is intended to be read to children, by therapists or parents. This book uses simple language and concepts to help children and parents understand what to expect in a child centered play therapy approach. Because children are not able to engage fully in abstract reasoning or thinking until approximately age 11, play is a developmentally respectful way to do therapy with a child. There are many established theoretical approaches to play therapy. Each approach takes into consideration the age and developmental stage of the child.
