Want a play based way to support 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 in time allotted 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! 💡 #theparentologist #parenting #parentinghacks #playbasedlearning #playbasededucation #sensoryplay #sensoryactivity #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #toddlermoms #toddlerproblems #toddlerhacks #parentingsupport #momssupportingmoms #momshelpingmoms #rawmotherhood #realmotherhood #newparents #newmom #newmoms #parentingsolutions #parentingtips #parentingproblems
