💙 Big feelings, little reminders, and the comfort of knowing we’re not alone. 💙
During group at Ryan’s Place, these two boys worked together on a special project exploring their emotions. One side of their sock represented the things that make them angry, while the other side represented the things that make them happy.
But the project didn’t end there! They stuffed their socks so they could keep them close as a source of comfort, a tool to help regulate their emotions, and a reminder of an important lesson:
💙 We can feel more than one emotion at a time. Happiness and anger can coexist. We can experience difficult feelings and good feelings, sometimes all at once, and that’s okay.
Through creative activities like this, children learn to recognize their feelings, express themselves, and discover healthy ways to navigate the emotions that come with grief.
At Ryan’s Place, we provide a safe space for children to explore their feelings, build connections, and find comfort in knowing they aren’t alone.
Because healing doesn’t mean we stop feeling. It means learning that there is room for every feeling along the way. 💙
