Group therapy is a form of therapy specifically designed for young children, typically between the ages of 2 and 6, where therapeutic interventions are delivered through play-based activities. Unlike traditional therapy, which may rely more heavily on verbal communication, group therapy utilizes toys, games, and imaginative play to help children express themselves and work through emotional or behavioral challenges in a developmentally appropriate manner.

Group therapy sessions are most suitable for young children between the ages of 2 and 6, as this age range corresponds with crucial stages of development where play is a primary mode of communication and learning.

Group therapy offers numerous benefits for children’s development and emotional well-being. It provides a safe and supportive environment for children to express themselves, develop social skills, enhance creativity, build self-esteem, and learn coping strategies for managing difficult emotions.
