What type of play is good for helping kids manage their emotions? Honestly not sure where to start.

Nature-based, sensory-rich, and physically active play helps most. Things like digging in soil, playing with water, collecting leaves and stones and sticks, or even just running and jumping around can help the body regulate energy, calm the nervous system, and give kids time to process feelings through movement and exploration.
