Parent Child Therapy - What Kind of Child Is Play?

We don't want to ignore our child but maybe ignoring this annoying part of it, this part that could be getting to us. We can turn to them every once in a while and say, I hear you're still asking me, you're still having a hard time. What I wouldn't do is say, go play. You go do this right now. You need to play because we can't play when someone tells us to play. Play can't be demanded or it really isn't play anymore. It's more organic than that"
