Many people are experiencing heightened levels of stress right now, including children. Let’s give them an opportunity to express and work through those big feelings in a way that makes sense for them, through play!
Does your child know someone who is sick? Is your child worried about getting sick? Maybe playing doctor’s office will give them a chance to express those feelings.
Gather some items you might find in a doctor’s office.
If you don’t have medical toys, get creative! A paper cup and some string could make a great stethoscope. Use some paper towels as table paper. Gather some magazines and a few chairs and you’ve got a waiting room. Creating materials can be part of the fun.
Included in this weeks packet, you will find a few printouts to use as props. Again, you can always make your own props. Maybe you could create an eye chart that has a hidden name or message in it.
Play with your child and give him or her a little space to share how they are feeling. A bit of play could help us all feel a little lighter.
