Creative date night.

You’re never too old for crayons. There’s something so grounding and regulating about coloring—slowing down, creating, and giving respite to an overactive brain.

Maybe Shirley Temple had it right… staying young at heart means making room for creativity and play.

Stay curious. Stay creative. Keep playing.

I LOVE Bubble Tennis!
This simple Theraplay activity is one of my favorite prescriptions for play—wonderful for transitions, quieting an anxious mind, co-regulation, working with the breath, and building attunement and connection.

So simple. So playful. And most importantly-SO FUN!!!

I was gifted Eden’s Big Feeling Collection by The Mindful Peach, written by Dr. Anna Huang and illustrated by Nolen Lee.

✨ When Mom Goes Out
✨ The Big Red Slide
✨ I Want a Popsicle

Three sweet, relatable stories that explore everyday childhood experiences that can bring up some very big feelings.

I also love seeing Asian American children and families represented in stories about everyday life and emotions. We need more books where children can see themselves reflected in the pages. 💛

Such a beautiful little collection for playrooms, therapy offices, classrooms, and homes. All the books are available on Amazon.

A mindfulness morning.
Zen garden, flowers, the beach, and a labyrinth walk. I’ll never miss an opportunity to walk a labyrinth—to reset, ground, and come back into my body.

Sometimes we need body up—using nature, movement and all the senses body to quiet and regulate the mind. The noise in our head can get so loud sometimes. What do you do to quiet your mind?

A simple way to upgrade your dollhouse… 💡
Add battery-operated LED puck lights! They’re inexpensive, easy to install, and children love them.

Children often tell us their stories through play long before they can put them into words.

In this video, I share why I recommend a simple, gender-neutral wooden dollhouse—especially for children living between two homes. Having a dollhouse for each home can help children process their experiences in a way that feels safe and familiar.

I also introduce a word I use: flumping.

Flumping is when we need to let it all out with a full release of emotions. It’s the dumping that happens when our nervous system feels overwhelmed and flooded. Then comes the important part—the cleaning up and organizing. As we bring order to the chaos, our nervous system begins to reset and regulate.

Sometimes the mess is part of the healing.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Are you a flumper?? I certainly am!!

This beautiful memory from 2018 came up today. Hand games, laughter, connection—and these beautiful attachment-based games the children taught me in a migrant camp in India.I miss these kids. I still think about them and wonder where they are now, what their lives look like, and who they’ve become.
Such a powerful reminder that connection doesn’t always need words. Sometimes it begins with two hands, a shared rhythm, and play. TherapeuticPlay ChildCentered PlayTherapist ConnectionMatters TammiVanHollander
