Posted @withregram • @drdeborahmacnamara How can we even think about playing during times of crisis? Isn’t play frivolous? Something to be done when everything else is taken care of?
Play is a powerful force - for parents and children alike - and is critical to our survival in times of stress. Play allows for the safe discharge of emotions that are stirred up in the face of separation and stress. They allow for freedom of expression, preserves a sense of agency, and is a powerful mood lifter. Play doesn't require us to make sense of our experiences which is helpful when we are overwhelmed. Play is good medicine - it was nature's gift to us to help with our feelings.

Reposting: @janetlansbury Ten Best Ways To Encourage Toddlers To Talk is linked in bio if you'd like to read more. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But first, let’s clarify something that will hopefully bring relief: Encouraging our children to talk isn’t about chattering incessantly to them in order to expose them to as many words as possible. Honestly, can you think of anything more off-putting than someone blabbering for the sake of blabbering? Even our adoring babies, the captive audiences they are, will tune out (because they’re unable to throw something or ask us to stop).⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While it’s true that children need to hear an abundance of words to develop healthy skills, encouraging language is about the quality and quantity of the words we speak. The great news is that both come naturally when we perceive babies as whole people — able communicators ready to be informed about the happenings in their lives, and in turn share their thoughts and feelings. Comprehend this simple truth, interact, engage, and converse naturally, and we’ve got the language lessons nailed.

Reposting: @thrivinglittles Our desires to keep the peace, have everyone be happy, and do things perfectly are well intended yet may originate in our own unresolved emotion or trauma.

This results in tendency to manage others' emotions versus experiencing our own, to control or unintentionally manipulate life versus flow with the vulnerability that arises in conflict or admitting fault.

We avoid conflict or mistakes thinking they will rupture relationship yet in doing so, we avoid intimacy, and authenticity, the gifts that truly cultivate connection.

Here’s to embracing the mess and all we learn and practice along the way.✨

“I didn’t mean for it to look like a heart”.

“I didn’t mean for it to look like a heart”... response from my daughter when I told her I loved the heart she made with the kids’ play dough.
Reminder to always ask first what is the creation.
