121. I Can’t Believe Professionals Get This so WRONG.

Ever heard a professional talk about how it’s a good thing for your kiddo to “get their emotions out?” By which they mean scream, yell and have a meltdown. Here’s the thing - This approach is like teaching your child how to digest food by making them vomit! You’d never tell your kiddo that throwing up after a meal was a sign of healthy digestion. If that started happening, you’d look for a solution, FAST. Well, it’s the same for their emotions. You don’t want your HSC to vomit up their emotions … You want them to ‘digest’ them. Why? Because while we want our kids to express themselves, and to feel comfortable to tell us how they really feel … We also want to encourage them to have emotion.
