Games with kinestenic sand - are they important for the child? Undoubtedly, there are several reasons for this. A gentle quartz sand, colored in different colors, sharpens the tactile sensations and promotes the development of fine motor skills. Fun with sand - a necessary occupation and with increased nervousness of the child: they reduce the level of anxiety, help distract from irritating factors and learn to concentrate.
But, perhaps, the most important aspect of sand therapy is the ability to solve the child's psychological problems. The sandbox becomes a kind of projection of the child's inner world, allowing him to express repressed desires, anxiety, aggression and unspoken anxiety. Constructing locks, creating sand patterns, filling the game universe with figures and objects, a small patient regains control over his feelings, learns how to properly experience and demonstrate them. The psychologist at the same time keeps a diary - the protocol of therapy, with a series of photographs and work patterns. With due patience, such a progressive technique gives a persistent positive result.
