SANDPLAY
Corner and Play Time
I’m currently taking Sandplay Therapy and Symbol
Work workshops. Since then, I decided to place a sandtray and add more toys for
the children who come to my art lessons to experience more fun in sandplay.
They are exciting to see the sandplay at the first time, and are really enjoy
playing the sand very much every time they come to my art studio.
Development psychologists have analyzed the
extreme importance of play in the development of a child’s personality and
ability to relate to the world. By emphasizing the importance and value of
play, I let the children to have balanced time for play and art in the class,
where play can stimulate creativity too. Thus, sandplay which carries therapeutic
effects in children has given them a time and space to get in touch with
something nature using hands that connect to the sensations of the bodies
through kinesthetic movements.
Sandplay is a hands-on, expressive counselling
and psychotherapy modality that has been in use for well over 50 years. It has
been used with children, adolescents and adults in schools, hospitals, welfare
agencies and private counselling practices. Although the sandplay at my studio
is not for individual counseling purposes, but I believe the children in my
class enjoy and get the benefits from the positive and therapeutic effects from
PLAY.
Helpful Little Angels
They are such helpful little angels, always help
to tidy up the toys after the play, sweep the sand on the floor, keep the books
and water the lovely plants at the studio. I feel that it’s a good way of
nurturing responsibility and self-discipline in children. Also, learning to do
some simple house work is one of the good ways in training the children’s daily
life skills and kinesthetic exercises, too!
