Alright, so I'm studying to be a counselor, and one of the methods they taught us about using with little kids was called sand tray therapy. It's where you put toys/dolls/objects in a small sandbox and ask the kids to tell a story with them. The idea is that they might not have the right words yet, but they can communicate ideas and emotions more easily in pretend play. Anyway, they show us a video of this little girl setting up a doll for her dad, her dad's new girlfriend, and herself. The therapist asks her what would the scene be like if it were perfect....the little girl flicks her finger to knock the new girlfriend face down in the sand and walks off holding her dad's hand; leaving the new girlfriend behind. And in that moment, I understood the power of sand tray therapy.

Oh man, this feels good because I filed an FTC complaint against them :D
