5 positive benefits art therapy can have on your child:
- Self-Growth. Children get an opportunity to grow internally.
- Expressivity. Do you ever find yourself without the right words to describe something? Children encounter this feeling more often than not and communicating through art is their natural language.
- Self-Esteem. Art Therapy grows self-confidence, helps children adjust to change, increases verbal and nonverbal communication and reduces anxiety.
- Positive Enjoyment: Children are often entertained by iPads and electronics – art therapy gives them a chance to find enjoyment through creativity and expressivity.
- Heightened Emotional Intelligence: Art therapy provides children a therapeutic space to learn about, identify and understand their emotions, thoughts and feelings.
