If the world of a child becomes daunting and stressful, they sometimes turn to instinctually playing to help soothe themselves, gain control and work out their emotions. A child's play offers a strong, resilient instrument for cultivating peace, trust and empathy. These characteristics can help children cope with changing times and uncertainty. Current events in the news, illness, divorce , death or movement of a loved one may all be significant causes of stress for children. Managing healthy stress for children is so important, as stress can affect the development of the child's brain.
