Have you ever seen a child having an absolute meltdown somewhere and thought, \u201cI can totally relate?\u201d Most of us have big feelings often, sometimes several times throughout the day. Adults have learned over the years how to properly identify and manage the big emotions we still feel, but small children<\/a> are still learning and can be easily overwhelmed by feelings and emotions. <\/span><\/p>\n

We can help our children start to identify and navigate these big, scary emotions. Here are some helpful ways to begin this process that will last well into early adulthood for your children:<\/span><\/p>\n

Model feelings and problem-solving skills<\/b>. <\/span><\/h4>\n

One of the most important things we can do as adults is to talk about our own feelings and be transparent and authentic about how difficult it can be sometimes! Saying, \u201cI\u2019m having a really hard day today because I\u2019m sad. Let\u2019s take a walk and get some exercise because it\u2019s good for our body and brain!\u201d is a great way to show a healthy way to deal with emotions that are big and scary. It also shows your child that nobody outgrows these feelings!<\/span><\/p>\n

Teach that all feelings are okay; all behaviors are not. <\/b><\/h4>\n

Reinforce that it\u2019s absolutely normal and valid to feel big feelings like joy, sadness, disappointment, or anger, but that there are ways that are not okay to express them. Hitting, yelling, pushing, throwing things, etc., are all unhealthy behaviors that are not acceptable or productive. <\/span><\/p>\n

Name the feelings. <\/b><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s just as important to give a growing child the words to describe their feelings. Explain words like \u201cdisappointment\u201d or \u201cfrustration\u201d and help give your child the vocabulary to talk to you about their emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n
