In this episode, Anna talks about why play matters. Play gives children a way to express feelings they can't put into words, manage big emotions, and practice solving problems. She walks through what a typical play therapy session looks like and how adults can play with children in ways that build emotional intelligence and creativity. The conversation also turns to grown-ups, and how they can get back in touch with their own playful side through imaginative, self-directed play.
