Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.7 – Building Coping Skills Through Play: Play is the natural language of childhood and one of the strongest tools for coping. Through imaginative play, children process stress, fears, and new experiences in symbolic ways. Pretend games, building blocks, and role-play scenarios allow emotional release without direct confrontation. Parents can participate gently—listening and reflecting rather than directing. Games that involve teamwork and creative problem-solving build resilience and flexibility. Art, music, and physical play also help regulate mood and energy levels. When a child learns that play can calm or express feelings, it becomes an emotional toolkit. Structured play can be used to rehearse coping strategies before real stress hits. It turns learning into something safe and enjoyable. Over time, these playful rehearsals grow into lifelong patterns of creativity and confidence in facing challenges.
