Working through your child's big emotions & helping them regulate through play W/Elisabeth Emmerich
Podcast: Mama KnowsPublished On: Tue Mar 05 2024
Description: Emotions are big and sometimes scary to feel, especially as a child. As a mom, I want to foster a safe place to help my kids identify and work through their emotions, and love the idea that they can do that through play. I am so excited to have Elisabeth Emmerich, a registered play therapist, on the podcast this week to walk us through:1. How can we, as parents, help our kids identify or understand the emotions they are feeling? (ie. Mad vs. frustrated?) 2. What are ways that we can help our kids to process their emotions? (ie. How can play help our kids process their emotions?) 3. Should I be concerned if my child is overly aggressive during play while mad? For example, the child is upset and is play with dolls and is making the dolls hurt each other.
