Send us a text Ever noticed how your daughter can spend hours building, drawing, dancing, or just messing around and people around her say, “Isn’t she too old for that?” What she’s doing is regulating her nervous system, processing emotions, and making sense of her world, all through play. Pressure from school, friendships, social media, and the constant need to “perform” leaves her little downtime to actually process her world. In this episode, I’m breaking down: • Why messy, “pointless” play is actually critical for emotional regulation • How teens use play to process stress, make sense of their feelings, and reconnect with themselves • Why the traditional theory of saying she's “too old for play” is nonsense. • How you can use play to help her regulate without lecturing, arguing, or losing your mind • Simple, everyday ways to make play part of both your lives so she can reset and you can breathe Because your teen’s chaos doesn’t mean you’re failing. It just means you’re a human mum raising a human daughter… in a world that often makes no sense. Listen in and discover how play can become the reset your teen really needs.
