Fun for a child takes away grief

The formation of a child is a long and difficult process, especially during the war, when the father can be at the front, and the mother is trying to balance herself in reality between anxiety and despair!

In such conditions, the child becomes an emotional filter, because of which parents miss all difficult experiences. What about the child? A child should have toys: different, for different functions and processes, different states and internal events, because these are his psychotherapists for all occasions!

So, a few tips on how to create a toy psychotherapy room for parents.

For example, you saw that the child’s condition has changed for the worse, but you don’t understand why and what to do. Try to collect all the favorite toys that the child has and listen to what they advise you, organizing such a dialogue: “Look, they all gathered because they noticed that you began to play with them differently, something is stopping you. And every toy wants to give you advice on how to play with it to make it better.”

Yes, once my son got into the network of night fears – and we were saved by a hedgehog, which still lives with us (for more than a decade). For its magical needles can pierce thoughts of fear.

So, toys for a child are his personal first-aid kit of stabilization, and one should not neglect such a wonderful heritage of evolution.
