"Play is very important for children. Toys are the child’s words and play is the child’s language."  

 - Haim Ginott, 1961

 

Through play therapy service, children can express their thoughts, needs, and feelings in a safe and autonomous environment. At the same time, it allows parents to gain a deeper understanding of their children's world, learn how to respond to and support them, so as to foster their children's emotional intelligence, self-esteem, sense of competence, confidence, and social skills, as well as enhancing the parent-child relationship.

 

Service Objectives:

1.      Help children effectively express their inner feelings, release negative emotions, reduce emotional and behavioural problems, and improve mental health.

2.      Assist parents in better understanding of their children, improving communication and parenting methods, and establishing a good parent-child relationship.
