Not every child needs play therapy.

But when emotions feel bigger, behavior shifts, or your child seems overwhelmed, support can make a meaningful difference.

Play therapy gives children a safe way to express what they do not yet have words for — while helping parents better understand what their child may be communicating.

If something in you has been paying attention, it’s okay to trust that instinct.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. 💚

You don’t stop loving your child just because you miss who you were.

Both can exist at the same time.
The gratitude.
The grief.
The love.
The loss of your old self.

If this resonates, nothing is wrong with you.
This is a very real part of becoming a parent.

You don’t need to choose one feeling over the other.

Confidence grows when children are given space to try, struggle, and try again.

In moments like these, children are building persistence, emotional strength, and trust in their own abilities.

What may look small from the outside is actually the foundation for resilience that carries them into school, friendships, and life.

This is the quiet power of play.

If parenting feels harder lately, it’s not because you’re failing.
It’s because your nervous system is carrying too much.

When you’re dysregulated, patience shrinks.
Old patterns show up faster.
And kids borrow what your body is holding.

Awareness changes outcomes.
Support changes capacity.

Nothing is wrong with you.

Play therapy is more than toys.
It is thoughtful.
It is structured.
It is guided by trained therapists who understand child development and emotional health.

Children often show us what they cannot yet say.

Through play, they process big feelings, build regulation, and begin to feel safer in their world.

In honoring Play Therapy Week, we recognize the quiet, intentional work that helps children feel safe, understood, and supported. 💚

If your motivation feels gone, pause before pushing harder.
This is often fatigue.
Not laziness.
Not avoidance.

Rest isn’t quitting.
It’s how access comes back.

What looks like “just play” is actually serious brain work.

When children explore, experiment, and get a little messy…
their brains are building regulation, coordination, confidence, and problem-solving skills.

Play is not a break from therapy.

For children — play is the therapy.

This Play Therapy Week, we’re honoring the powerful work children do through play every single day.

You don’t have to have the right words.
You don’t have to be calm.
You don’t have to be certain.
You don’t have to be “that bad.”

You just have to be human.

Starting therapy can look messy, quiet, unsure, or tender.
That’s okay here.

This is how we lower the barrier to support.

If you feel behind, stuck, or constantly catching up—
pause.

That feeling isn’t a personal failure.
It’s your nervous system under load.

You don’t need more pressure.
You need support and space.

Motherhood is loud on the inside.
The thoughts.
The guilt.
The responsibility.
The love.

You’re not weak for feeling it all.
Support is allowed here.

When your child is melting down, the goal isn’t control.
It’s connection.

You don’t need the perfect words.
You don’t need to fix it in the moment.

Slow your body.
Say less.
Stay close.

Skills land when the nervous system feels safe.
That’s where real change starts.

This is the kind of support we focus on at Ohana.





01/28/2026

If you’ve been snapping faster than usual, this might explain it.
More input.
Less rest.
No buffer.

That’s not a character flaw.
That’s a nervous system doing its best.

Support helps.
You don’t have to muscle through this.
