Answer 1

(1) What is answer 1 to your EQ? Be specific in your answer and write it like a thesis statement.
Play therapy is one of the ways to psychologically treat abused children. It allows them to express their feeling while doing something they know how to do very well, play. 


(2) What possible evidence do you have to support this answer?
Since children are playing, they are in their comfort zone. Therefore, they express themselves easier, and they don't feel uncomfortable. According to the Play Therapy Association of the United States, Aristotle and Plato once reflected on the importance of play in our lives. When children feel like they are doing something that they know how to do, without thinking that it's therapy they use the toys as words to express what they are feeling which is easier, not only for the child but also for the therapists. It is easier to understand what the child is feeling.


(3) What source(s) did you find this evidence and/or answer?
