A tale of three conversations

( Just some analysis from yesterday, since I don't have anyone to talk it out with )

Reinforcement

"Play" is definitely generally the missing component. I suspect it's the missing component in handling both stress and transitions. Space where I'm not resting and not working, but have time to shape or co-shape the rules of engagement really help settle me.

Most of my co-play is verbal.

A lot of my own play is creative, where I'm "playing with" structures organization, and/or physical properties.
