Play education is an important separate component of educational work with both children and adults and has become increasingly important in recent years. The work of play educators is extremely valuable from an educational point of view, as, for example, hidden fears or painful experiences can be brought to light in younger children, which would not be possible with talk therapy.

Play should also be encouraged as it has been proven to promote concentration and individual creativity. Educators or therapists who specialize in play are trained to perceive even the smallest messages and then work through them with the person concerned. This form of therapy has already helped numerous children and adults, for example, to actively address and overcome fears of loss or deep-seated fears of failure. Those affected learn to accept what has happened, to work through it and to process it in a further process together with the educator.
