play creatively

today, i am using my sand-tray in a case which is involved the parent and the children.
i never think that the play could be creative this way.

the parent and the children, using the play to create football game v the sand and little soldiers, then, they used the paper to make a small ball to kick it.

i think this is successful session as my aim is creating a space let the parent and the child to be able to communicate.

there is communication going on. between the father and children.
how wonderful it is.... the communication in other's way.

before they started to play, that's how it's look like

(1) the green soldier -son's team

(2) the yellow soldier -father's team





before start to play,
the son use the creative way to create the ball by using the recycle paper

it's just start when the counsellor play the role as "referee“ by throwing the ball and shout " game start"

there is nothing much communication happens here, just playing
it's really a joyful moments...

i found that counselling isn't just talk, engaging in "creative art" make me aware of the power of communication in non-verbal way ……
