In this heartfelt episode of The Writing Glitch Podcast, host Cheri Dotterer, an Occupational Therapist and recovering dysgraphic, delves into the transformative power of play and emotional learning with guest Paul Zolman. Zolman discovered an unconventional path to aiding children's social and emotional development through his groundbreaking game and shared his journey from personal struggles to inspiring change in educational settings. This game, rooted in the principles of the Five Love Languages, offers a simple yet profound way to enhance self-regulation, leadership, and classroom engagement with no pencil required. Join us as we explore how this game not only addresses dysgraphia but also sows the seeds of empathy, understanding, and self-awareness in young minds.

Quote from Paul Zolman:
"Through this game, we're not just teaching children to recognize and express love in various forms but also empowering them to take ownership of their emotions and actions. It's about transforming our approach from one of reacting to one of responding with intention. My hope is that by integrating these practices into daily routines, we can create a more compassionate, understanding world where every child feels valued and understood."
