CHESAPEAKE, Va. It’s not always easy for children to communicate how they feel.
Suzanne Davis, a licensed professional counselor, says sometimes it takes a dollhouse, board games, or even action figures.
“It’s a way to express, essentially what’s happening internally within a child, Davis said. And through the toys, they communicate what’s happening. So the play itself becomes, in a way, their communication.”
Suzanne Davis said her goal with the new book is “helping children to be able to live courageously, even though things don’t make sense . to be brave when circumstances are beyond their control.”
