Emotion regulation through play: Turning everyday moments into growth opportunities with Dr. Abbré McClain and Dr. Jacqueline Salazar

Discover how to use the power of play to strengthen your child's emotional regulation and foster meaningful connection, with Dr. Abbré McClain and Dr. Jacqueline Salazar.

In this episode, we explore:

- How play and relationships can be foundational elements for teaching kids emotional regulation skills.

- Why coregulation doesn't have to be so serious and can be employed through play and playfulness.

- The therapeutic function of play interventions and how they work in play therapy.

- How to adapt play strategies for different developmental stages and unique children.

- Why playing with your kids is different from entertaining them, and how child-led play can be less exhausting for parents.

- Quality over quantity: How even small moments of playfulness can make a big difference in strengthening parent-child bonds.

If you're looking for practical ways to build emotional regulation skills while bringing more joy and connection into your family's life, this episode is filled with actionable insights to get you started!
