Checking in about Feelings at Home and School
Have you ever thought back to how you were taught to recognize different emotions? It’s such an important social skill to not only recognize the feelings within yourself but for the people around you too. This episode is about just that - helping your children to recognize and check-in with their feelings. I’ve learned a lot about this topic from the help of Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson with the ‘Name it to Tame it’ method. It helps kids to self-regulate by naming their emotions. I get asked a lot, “Well how can I actually go about helping my child name their emotions? How can we make this our daily routine?” So I’m answering all your questions in this podcast episode! Getting children into the rhythm of understanding all emotions and feelings are allowed and accepted. And teaching them it’s what you do with those feelings that matters.
