Want a play based way to help your children through tough moments?
If your child is having a “moment” acknowledge and validate their feelings and then tell them you are going to set a timer for 5 minutes and they can pout, scream, yell, stomp, etc during that time to get it all out. ⏱️
Children respond so well to colorful visuals and this will help them soothe in a sensory based way while also learning how to regulate their behavior and emotions. ⏰
When time is up, they take a deep breath and go back to their regulated self. ⏲️
This strategic intervention allows them to freely explore and experience their emotions and behaviors and then learn how to control and overcome them. ⏳
Please follow along for more therapeutic parenting advice! 💡
