Dr. Kim’s Play Tool of the Week!

Kids don’t often want to “talk” about their emotions. In fact, most children shut down in lecture-based and discussion commanding environments.

As a play therapist, it’s my job to connect with children using a non-threatening language they understand and respond to using a variety of toys! And one of my favorite games to play with children to label and discuss emotions is “Flip Flop Faces Bean Bag Toss” by @Discovery

This game not only sparks conversation about big feelings, it also teaches children facial expressions and color/word recognition, helps develop motor skills and coordination, and encourages cooperative play, math skills, and social awareness.

I even play it at home with my children! They think it’s fun and it opens the door to briefly talk about anything feelings-based they want to bring up with me!

Hi, it’s me. Just a play therapist with her favorite tool when working with children. This book bag is great for kids with anger and aggression, extra energy, anxiety, and sensory seeking behaviors

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! 💡

There are so many ways I use these sensory play-based sensory stones in my home and in my practice!

Whether you have a child that needs to regulate their sensory system, is displaying sensory seeking behavior, or are being hyperactive and need a way to actively calm their system, these non slip sensory stones will help them control their body and feel grounded!

I also use these at home when I am trying to get my kids out the door in a play based way if we are in a hurry and they are walking around the house like it’s filled with molasses. 😉 Sometimes we play “Floor is Lava” or just practicing our balancing skills as we get out the door, these really motivate kids to move quickly!

P.S. They can hold up to 220 pounds, so adults can use them too!!
