Looking Through The Eyes of Children: Toys Are Their Words Play Is Their Language
I interviewed Julie Robinson about her work with children and play therapy. Julie Robinson presented a workshop at the first Vitual Conference on Counseling in Second Life, this workshop and Julie’s wider experience was the foundation for our discussion. Julie and her co presenters offered this starting point for the workshop “This workshop is designed to (1) assist those who work with children in obtaining an understanding of the child-centered theory of play therapy, (2) help the participant develop an awareness of the child?s world as viewed by the child, (3) help the participant communicate more effectively with children at a “feeling level”, (4) increase the participant?s understanding of children and their behavior and, (5) help the participant implement practical skills to facilitate children?s emotional growth in play therapy.”
