When your child says, 'I'm fine,' it might really mean, 'I don’t know how to tell you what I’m feeling.'
As parents/caregivers , we want to be there-but what if our kids just don’t have the words yet?
That’s where art comes in. 🎨✨
Art therapy gives children a safe, creative outlet to explore emotions they can’t quite express verbally. Whether it’s stress from school, anxiety, grief, or just the rollercoaster of growing up, putting feelings on paper can be incredibly freeing.
And no-your child doesn’t need to be an “artist.” It’s not about perfect drawings. It’s about expression, connection, and healing.
💛 If you’ve noticed your child is withdrawn, anxious, or struggling to open up, consider starting with something simple:
- Leave out art supplies and invite them to create without pressure.
- Ask them to draw “how today felt.”
- Or take the next step and explore working with a professionally ANZACATA registered art therapist.
Let art open the door that words can’t.
