As the common saying goes, “Hard work brings rewards, while play brings no benefits.” Many people, upon hearing about play time with children, have doubts such as: “Isn’t it just playing with children? How can playing help children? How does it help?” and etc.
Unlike adults, children do not know how to use words to express themselves or articulate their difficulties or problems. Sometimes when we ask children to talk about something or express their feelings, they might not be able to do it clearly. This is because their cognition, thinking, and logical reasoning are still in the developmental stages, and their verbal expression skills are not yet well developed.
However, subtly, children can convey many of their life experiences through playing with toys, playing the family cooking games (masak-masak, we call it in Malaysia) or drawing. During our play sessions, we use plays and toys to help children express their inner life experiences. Through plays and toys, children can better express the feelings and thoughts they cannot put into words.

俗话说勤有功，戏无益。大部人听到游戏陪伴，内心总会有些疑问如：不就是跟小朋友玩而已嘛！谁不会玩呢？玩可以帮助小朋友咩？怎么帮哦？
小朋友不像成年人那样懂得用言语来表达自己和陈述自己的困境或问题。有时候当我们要求小朋友讲一件事，还是讲他的感受或感觉，他们未必能够表达，也可能说得不清楚。这是因为他们的认知，思考和逻辑推理还在发展的阶段，口语表达能力还没有发展得很好。
但很微妙的是小朋友可以从玩玩具，玩masak-masak （玩家家酒），从画图等游戏过程中，把他所感受到的许多生命经验透过这些游戏玩出来。而我们则透过游戏陪伴时段，进而利用游戏和玩具来帮忙孩子表达他内在的生命经验。小朋友透过游戏和玩具可以更好地表达出他说不出来的感受和想法。
游戏不只是游戏，玩具不只是玩具。游戏是儿童的语言，玩具是儿童的词汇。通过游戏时间，孩子们可以学会如何表达自己的感受，而在这个安全的空间利用小朋友懂的语言和词汇来陪伴他所面对的困难，从而创造一个支持和促进儿童心理健康的环境，为他们未来的美好生活打下坚实的基础，从而更好地应对生活中的挑战并健康快乐地成长。这也是很多父母最大的心愿。
