Play is a vital part of the human experience. Play can help provide insight about ourselves and help us to connect with others. While some may see play as just fun and games, at its core, play is really a form of communication. Through play both children and adults can often communicate with others in a deep meaningful way what they’ve experienced or what they wish was true in their lives.
