Through the use of sand play, art therapy, fidgets, and therapeutic games my students can learn to express and cope with their grief and traumas. Many of my students lack the resources or social support to develop healthy and appropriate expression of their anger, grief, and anxiety. By offering them a wide variety of mediums in which to express these feelings they develop safe coping skills that they can use throughout their life. Young children struggle to express their feelings in verbal manners. Tools like sand and art give them an outlet to safely express what they are feeling. Through the use of the therapeutic games they can be taught the tools they will need to heal emotionally. Emotionally healthy students are better equipped to learn and succeed in the classroom. These students will be better able to focus, use high level skills, and interact appropriately socially.
