Most people need time to process an unpleasant experience. Through talking, adults can be helped to process memories and feelings that follow loss or trauma.

Children can’t process events abstractly until they are 11 years old. Therefore toys are the words and play the language a child can use to make sense of their world.

The Creator made children this way. Parents can help them to get the opportunity to process their emotions and problems through play. Counselors and therapists are trained to support their process.
