“I thought play had to look a certain way—neat, structured, and full of teachable moments. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. Play with Neurodivergent kids is beautifully unique, sometimes chaotic, often hilarious, and always meaningful.”

Today Cascade therapist Jennifer Hayden, LMSW, is on the blog with a very practical and helpful look at how to play with your neurodivergent kiddo and have a blast while doing it! You won’t want to miss this one.

“Listening without fixing is very important for teens, but very difficult for adults. Individuals in that caretaker role want to take on that pain and “fix” the problems, but this often does not build confidence or resilience in the other person. Adversity and hardship are two things that force us to grow because they make us uncomfortable, teens included. The most important thing that we can do is be available. Simply listen to listen, not to respond. It is therapeutic in itself to have someone come alongside and truly listen to you and engage in your story, hurts, and victories empathetically and authentically - we owe this to our teens as well.“

With March coming to a close, we wanted to still acknowledge and honor that March is Teen Mental Health Month.

Misty LaFree, MA, LPC is on the blog today talking about teen mental health and you don’t want to miss this.

“Our fixation on change at the start of the year can lead to anxiety and, eventually, resentment towards ourselves. Is this truly how we want to welcome the new year? Certainly not.

However, completely abandoning the idea of change and the challenges it brings may not be healthy either. My recommendation is to find meaning in the mistakes and lapses we encounter during this journey. When considering what changes to pursue, reflect on these questions: What motivates me to make this change? What can I realistically expect from myself throughout this process? What benefits will I gain from this adjustment?”

Today on the blog Holland based therapist Bob Eggleston, MA, LPC shares some helpful and practical insights as we kick off 2025. Be sure to check it out at leadlightcounseling.com/blog
