What I may be saying is, “I am trying to figure out what is happening. I am trying to get a sense of some control over all that is going on.” You can support me by joining in my play. Ask my doll questions: “How are you feeling? What is going on?” Give me props and toys to help with my pretend play. Use this as a chance to give me a little more information. If you feel worried about my play, or feel like I’m getting “stuck” in my play talk to a professional you trust for guidance.
