Join Hope for HIE on Saturday, June 20, at 12:00 PM ET for a Child Life Q&A with Annie Gunning, CCLS, to talk about all the ways children can use play as a way to cope.
Annie will share simple, creative summer activities that help children express emotions, build coping skills, and feel more connected. In this session, we'll explore:
- Why play is a child's most natural language for processing big feelings
- Sensory and movement activities that support emotional regulation
- How to recognize when play is helping your child cope with stress or medical experiences
- Creative ways to encourage expression without pressure to talk
- Simple sibling connection activities for the whole family
- How to create a calming space at home without breaking the bank
