Games create powerful connections with children and teens, allowing them to open up about emotions in ways direct conversation often can't achieve. They offer a natural setting for learning crucial life skills while having fun.
• Board games, card games, and active games all provide opportunities for emotional growth
• Children are more relaxed and open during play, making it easier to discuss feelings
• Taking strategic pauses during your turn to ask questions encourages meaningful responses
• Games teach frustration tolerance, impulse control, organization, and social skills
• Adapting games to each child's interests and competitive nature is essential
• The "feeling wheel" game uses dice rolls to prompt emotional awareness discussions
• Creating clear boundaries around respecting feelings during gameplay ensures everyone feels safe
Remember, you only have to be this side of good enough. Have fun playing games with your children and subtly weave in opportunities for emotional growth and connection.
