Myth #2: Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They donât interact for the sake of interacting.
It is best to start teaching play skills with simple cause-and-effect toys, such as a Jack in The Box or a keyboard. Avoid imaginative, work based, or complex toys, such as puzzles, figurines, dolls, or Play Dough. If you hand a child with no play skills a lump of Play Dough, they will likely try to eat or lick it.
Some of the specific benefits children can gain from play therapy include: 1  Reduced anxiety about traumatic events. 2  Improved confidence and a sense of competence. 3  Better able to form healthy bonds in relationships. 4  Improved ability to trust themselves and others. 5  Enhanced creativity and playfulness.
