In recent years, art therapy has gained recognition as a valuable method for helping children through psychotherapy. This growing field uses creative activities such as drawing, singing, dancing, music, and even sand therapy to support emotional growth.

This approach helps adjust a child's behavior, as the main goal of art therapy is to develop self-knowledge and self-expression. Through creative activities, children’s emotional intelligence is nurtured and strengthened.

In my experience with this approach, and I can say that it is aimed at helping children navigate challenging life situations, such as depression, phobias, or a loss of interest in life. During the sessions, children experience a mental 'reset' that enables them to develop new ways of thinking. They learn to adopt suitable behavior patterns and cope with their problems, while also enhancing their intelligence and critical thinking. Additionally, this technique is effective across various age groups and offers numerous benefits, such as:

• Relieving emotional stress,
• Understanding and expressing feelings,
• Overcoming insecurities,
• Managing age-related crises, and
• Seeing beauty in the details of life.

Based on personal observations and experience, if a child faces difficulties with communication or socialization, it is worth trying this technique at least once.
