Playing with your children is not only a great way to increase parent-child bonding, but it also breaks tension and can help children regulate their emotions. Joining me this week is Gloria Tate, a Registered Clinical Mental Health Intern with Family Enrichment Services and a counselor with the Chosen Families team. Gloria works with families formed through adoption, and credits play as the tool she uses most often when working with children and parents. She gives simple tips on how to incorporate play with babies, kids, and teens into your parenting toolbox.
