In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four simple and practical tips of ways to use play to explore feelings with children and teens, as well as how each tip is helpful.

1. Art-Based Play
2. Emotion Puppets
3. Emotion Yoga or Movement Play
4. Feelings Scavenger Hunt

Using play to explore feelings with children and teens is like planting seeds in a garden. Each playful interaction is a seed that, over time, grows into a deeper understanding of emotions. Just as tending to a garden requires care and patience, nurturing emotions through play fosters emotional resilience and a stronger parent-child connection.
