Kids are honest. Kids never have hidden agendas. At Chameleon Play Therapy we don’t believe there’s such a thing as a naughty child. Most of the time they’re expressing something that they can’t verbalise or articulate appropriately. We help them move from a place where they’re acting out and getting negative feedback to place where they are just being their true and amazing selves, and therein lies our reward.
A child’s natural means of communication is play. They don’t have the words to explain the complicated things that are going on. Sometimes a lot of the issues can be addressed and worked on through play with a witness. We get to become the child’s voice when it comes to advising the parents.
The gravity and the importance of becoming an advocate for children is not lost on us.
