"Toys are my words and play is my language"

CHILD PLAY THERAPY

Therapy Through Play and Relationships

        "In play, the child is always behaving beyond his age, above his usual everyday behaviour; in play he is, as it were, a head above himself. Play contains in a concentrated form, as in the focus of a magnifying glass, all developmental tendencies; it is as if the child tries to jump above his usual level".
Lev S. Vygotsky
