Strong emotions
Strong emotions like anger or anxiety can impair concentration and learning.
Suggest Activities to Soothe Emotions
Suggest simple strategies to help your child regulate their emotions, such as breathing exercises or creative activities. Practice: Encourage your child to take breaks, breathe deeply, or draw their emotions. You can also practice relaxation exercises with them, such as abdominal breathing or gentle stretching.
Create a Calm Space for Expressing Emotions
A calm and non-judgmental space allows your child to express themselves freely and process their emotions safely. Practical tip : Set up a quiet corner at home where your child can retreat when feeling overwhelmed. This space can be decorated with soothing objects (stuffed animals, cushions, books) and encourage the child to use it whenever needed.
“Understanding Your Child’s Emotions – A guide for parents & carers” - Health for Kids
This article emphasizes the importance of helping children understand and manage their emotions to improve communication, build relationships, and navigate challenging situations. It explains that emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are interconnected, and when children can link these aspects, they are better equipped to handle difficult feelings. The guide offers practical tips for parents and carers, such as helping children name their emotions, identifying triggers, and modeling emotional regulation. By fostering emotional awareness and coping skills, parents can support their children's emotional health and well-being.
“Supporting your Child/Adolescent to Regulate Their Emotions” - Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust
This introductory workshop will explain what emotional dysregulation is and examine the factors that can affect a child or young person’s ability to manage their emotions. It will then focus on practical ways to support young people and introduce essential self-regulation skills.
Visible body behaviors
Emotions are often expressed through gestures, postures, or facial expressions.
Validate Your Child's Emotions
Validating your child's emotions means letting them know that they have the right to feel what they feel, even if the emotion is intense or difficult. This strengthens their sense of security and helps them feel understood. Practical tip: Use phrases like "I understand you're angry, it's normal to feel that way" or "It's hard, I see that it makes you sad." This helps the child not to feel alone in their emotional experience.
Internal and external stimuli
Strong emotions are a natural part of a child's development
Stay Calm and Present
When your child goes through a big emotional wave, it is essential that you remain calm. Your serenity helps soothe the child and shows them that they can rely on your support. Practical tips: Adopt an approachable posture. Use a gentle tone of voice, without anger or impatience, and take a deep breath to refocus. Show that you are ready to listen without judgment and remember that it’s a wave with a peak and that the emotion will subside.
Child's Development
Strong emotions are a natural part of child development
Ensure Emotional Follow-Up and Long-Term Support
After an emotional wave, it is important to revisit the incident and help the child understand what triggered their emotions and how to better manage them in the future. Practical implementation: Take some time later, when the child is calm, to discuss what they felt and what may have caused this emotion. Encourage them to think about strategies that could help them better handle similar situations in the future. If necessary, refer them to a professional for longer-term support.
