## Resource

Play is one of the most important aspects of child development and mental health. Unfortunately many of us struggle to know HOW to play with kids. In this episode we discuss exactly how we can use play with children and teens to build skills in communication, empathy, emotional regulation and so much more. We hope you like the episode and we can't wait to read your reflections, questions and advice. Special thanks to our sponsor Hot Wheels for supporting this episode and helping us keep the conversations rolling ❤️ Hot Wheels is all about helping kids build confidence and resilience through play… and we love that.
