Do our emotions have complete authority over us, or can we have a say in how we relay them? In part one, I said the following: adults will face challenges with the complexities of their feelings. However, children are likely to have it worse.<\/p>\n

Because we\u2019ll all experience a wide range of emotions, children will not completely understand what they\u2019re feeling. Regardless of setting, this confusion can lead to children facing communication challenges.<\/p>\n

However, just because something is difficult, this doesn\u2019t mean impossible. For this reason, I believe that we can play a role in relaying our emotions.<\/p>\n

As promised in part one, I\u2019ll now present two ways to help your children manage their feelings.<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Silence isn\u2019t golden<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the original saying: silence is<\/em> golden. As for the meaning, it\u2019s sometimes best to remain silent than it is to speak. However, if the aim is to help your children with their emotions, silence is your enemy.<\/p>\n

Try this instead: connect an experience or action to a particular emotion. For instance, imagine yourself smiling while eating your favorite ice cream.<\/p>\n

Instead of letting a teachable moment pass, say this: because it brings back childhood memories playing with friends, eating this makes me feel nostalgic.<\/p>\n

At the opposite end of this emotion, picture your reaction after seeing the poor treatment of a restaurant server. \u201cWhile daddy was having lunch today, someone treated the waiter so badly, I felt disgusted. Under no circumstances should you ever treat someone as inferior to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whenever we attach an experience or action to an emotion such as disgust or nostalgia, children gain clarity. From your examples, it\u2019s like painting a portrait with the title of a specific emotion. Because of this, they\u2019ll learn that there are many different emotions. From here, they\u2019ll also learn how to distinguish them.<\/p>\n

Tip #2: A picture equals one thousand words<\/strong><\/p>\n

Famously coined from Henrik Ipsen\u2019s original quote, he said, “A thousand words leave not the same deep impression as does a single deed.”<\/p>\n

To continue my painting analogy, use an image to drive the emotional point home. Here\u2019s a chance to get creative. How? Using cartoon and even real-life images, cut-out or print said images. If not flash cards, consider creating a large poster comprised of the 27 emotions.<\/p>\n

For the purpose of today\u2019s blog, place the images on a flash card. With each reveal, have your child say what emotion is on display.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Pixar released an animated movie titled Inside Out<\/em> based on five emotions. In particular, Joy\u2019s objective is to keep the main character happy. With Joy\u2019s image on a flash card, your child will now see a representation of the emotion.<\/p>\n

So, although I can offer enough tips to fill a book, these two tips share a commonality: children need active involvement<\/strong>. As adults, we don\u2019t become who we are overnight. By that, life is a lengthy process. When we\u2019re hands-off or impatient with life\u2019s process, disaster ensues.<\/p>\n

Before children can manage their emotions, they must first learn about their emotions. By understanding what they are, they\u2019ll recognize what emotion is appropriate. With this information, they\u2019ll better comprehend how to express themselves.<\/p>\n

As for you, you\u2019ll realize that through the process, it\u2019s possible to mitigate their meltdowns. In instances, you may even find that your child has challenges sitting still, appears apprehensive, uncoordinated, and struggles with paying attention.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, what drives this is the following: a sensory processing issue. While experiencing this as a parent, you may feel overwhelmed, but that\u2019s where I come in.<\/p>\n
