Fifteen Shades of Play
Positive, well-balanced play allows both parties to try out roles that they might not in less relaxed circumstances. It’s a chance to experiment, to test strengths and weaknesses and to have enjoyable physical contact. It’s also great fun, builds relationships and fosters team-building.
