Sandplay for kids

Sandplay Therapy is one of the many great passions I have, especially in relation to children. After witnessing  the changes it can make in children, I personally feel that Sandplay is amongst one of the most useful and most affective ways to assist children who may be currently experiencing:

• unexplained anxiety and fears
• panic attacks
• lack of motivation, poor school performance when the child is capable
• sibling rivalry
• nail bitting
• angry and aggressive behaviour 
• scary dreams and nightmares
• frequent crying
• child being bullied at school
• bedwetting
• hair pulling

Sandplay Therapy is effective as a healing modality as it establishes a protected and safe space, where the complexities and difficulties of the inner world are explored and integrated into the psyche for emotional healing. Those undergoing Sandplay Therapy will place miniature figurines in a small sandbox to express inner experiences and confusing feeling. This develops a visual representation of the content of the mind and thus will reveal unconscious concerns that are inaccessible any other way. 

Sandplay Therapy works really well with children as this modality allows the child to express even if they have no words.
