If your child melts down, shuts down, or struggles to find the words to explain what’s wrong—you’re not alone. And you’re not failing. In this episode, we’re joined by play expert and counselor Deborah Woods to explore how play can become one of the most powerful tools for connection—especially when your child’s emotions feel too big for words.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present—and a little playful.

• Why play is a powerful connector for emotionally intense children
• How play helps kids feel safe, seen, and soothed
• Simple ways to build connection without adding stress
• What to do if play feels awkward or unnatural as a parent
• How just 30 minutes a week can begin to transform your relationship
