The effect of healing games

Starting from February 24, for all Ukrainians, the word war acquired a new meaning. We heard many stories about the war from our grandparents, saw films, read books about the terrible tragedy. But we had never expected and could not imagine that war could cross the threshold of our home again.

But the reality is that, despite everything, we have to be strong and brave for the sake of our children. Work, dreams, plans - everything went into the background. But when stress has captured all the imagination and figuring out how to distract the child from a stressful situation, to occupy himself with something, can become a problem, I would advise using a game.

The game is a type of physical and intellectual activity, devoid of direct practical expediency, which provides children with the opportunity for self-realization, which goes beyond the boundaries of his current social roles.

Children's games in war should not scare you. It becomes easier for children when they play like this. They release emotions that they had to experience during the occupation and that they still cannot express in words. But it is worth watching so that there is no prolonged aggression in these games.

Children want victory and they created it in games, it is not dangerous, but when there is only violence in the game and the child begins to change in his state, he allegedly experiences a flashback of what he saw, then it is necessary to contact specialists.
