We we talk about a lot, like it just how highly unique each of our

introspective can be.

And so like what your body feels like when you're hungry is probably different than what your child's body feels like when they're hungry.

So if you have the luxury of multiple people talking out loud about the way their bodies are feeling and pointing out, like, look how different we all are, you're sending a message to your child.

That there's no right way to feel, like their way is the right way.

So that can be really helpful to just kind of get the ball rolling and then as your child

might be ready for it, start inviting that curiosity to their body.

So instead of labeling and assuming to understand their experience, one of the things I love to do is I wonder statements.

So like

I see you like dancing back and forth and wiggling your body.

I wonder what that means.

Or I wonder what you're feeling in your body.

So just using I wonder statements and you might not get a response.

And that's okay.

It's a curiosity statement without expectation of response.

You're just nurturing that curiosity.

Or I see you doing this with your hands, like I wonder what that means.

But what we're trying to really do is nurture that body curiosity.

curiosity during times of play.
