Most childhood upsets will resolve their selves without therapy.  It's when they don't that play therapy can be used to offer children a safe, non intrusive, and natural way to quicken recovery from common and major traumatizing events.  Seeking therapy for a child does not indicate failure as a parent, but often indicates a deep concern and love for the child.
