NEW What are Play Therapies?
‘When play and safe, stable, nurturing relationships are missing in a child’s life, toxic stress can disrupt the development of executive function and the learning of prosocial behaviour; in the presence of childhood adversity, play becomes even more important’. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/142/3/e20182058
Play is a human right (UNCRC Article 31:The right to relax and play). The latest research in Neuroscience is clearly highlighting the importance of play for healthy brain development.
