Children watch and learn from the adults around them. Especially when it comes to emotions. When parents and caregivers show healthy ways to express feelings, kids pick up those habits too.
Instead of hiding frustration or sadness, try sharing your emotions calmly and constructively. For example:
- “I’m feeling a little stressed today, so I’m going to take a few deep breaths.”
- “I felt sad when my plans changed, but I talked to a friend about it.”
By modeling this, you teach children that emotions are normal and manageable. This supports their emotional growth and creates a trusting environment where they feel safe to share their feelings.
Twin Bears Studio encourages families to practice this together, making emotional regulation a shared journey.
