WOW THIS ONE IS TOO CLOSE
As a speech therapist/educator, Iβm always trying to find simple techniques/explanations to help little kids process and understand their emotions and then teach them healthy ways to express themselves when theyβre angry, frustrated, etc. I notice that telling them I deal with the same difficulties, like wanting to yell when Iβm angry, goes a long way. Then they know what they feel isnβt weird BUT there are ways to handle their emotions that donβt hurt themselves or others.
This reminds me of this meme.
cool its may. thatβs cool. it SHOULD be february but thatβs cool.

If you experienced trauma in childhood or had a rough childhood, dude listen to me. Offer yourself play. You were deprived of it.
Keep bubbles in the house, blow bubbles in the yard, blow them in your room, get a coloring book that doesnβt have to be an adult one with mandalas, watch cartoons, laugh at stupid things, dress up as a superhero for Halloween, wear a Santa hat on Christmas and big light up snowflake earrings, lay down on the floor, lay down in the grass, eat eggos for dinner sometimes. Itβs not stupid. Youβre not childish. Youβre giving your inner child what they had taken from them. They deserve it.
I don't want to derail this post because it's an important message, and OP has addressed it to the people who most need to hear it. But... can i just add, for people who don't feel like they can give themselves permission to do this, that you can give yourself these things even if you didn't overtly experience trauma in childhood?
Even if you never thought of your upbringing as painful or malicious, you can and should still give yourself things you missed out on. Take that class! Learn that skill! Eat the foods you like, or branch out into new ones! Jump in piles of leaves and decorate your walls the way you want them.
Give yourself the things you couldnt have as a kid, especially if you didn't really get to have a childhood, but even if you didn't have the childhood you wanted. Go for a bike ride with friends. Go stargazing. Whatever it was that you feel like you missed, it's important to seek those things and remember that play and joy aren't exclusive to childhood.
I donβt think you derailed this at all and think this was a really thoughtful addition. So thank you!
