Tips for Parents
1. Incorporate feelings in your daily conversations. You can start by simply asking your child how they feel. If they need help with identification, Google 'free feelings charts' and choose which suits you best. For younger children, choosing a chart with basic feelingshappy, sad, angry etc. may be best. want to overwhelm your child. Keep in mind that as your child grows/matures the range and identification of feelings can grow as well.
2. Throughout the day, help your little one become aware of and identify feelings that you notice they may be experiencing. For example, if you see your child smiling, laughing and jumping up and down, say, "I see you're really happy. What's making you so happy?" If you notice your child crying, you can say, "I see you're crying. Are you sad?" Are you angry?" Etc.
3. Art can be a great way to get in touch with feelings. Take some time to draw how you're feeling. When you're done, share your pictures with one another and talk about them.
4. Remember to have conversations with your child about feelings that may not feel too good(sad, angry, worried etc.). This will help teach your children that all feelings are valid, but also become comfortable with talking about them and finding solutions so that they feel better sooner rather than later.
Be patient with your child. Be patient with yourself. Be consistent!
