I think as we get ready to open our new location, I'll spend a few posts talking about TOYS.
Child psychiatrists love toys. Yes, they are usually cute and fun to play with, but more importantly, they let kids express thoughts and feelings when they haven't yet learned the vocabulary an adult would use.
Medical school never talked about sorting through plushies vs dinosaurs vs dolls at the end of the day.
But it's always time very well spent.
