You can help your child understand their feelings by letting them know it is good to talk about how we feel, you can model this by talking about your own feelings in a child friendly and age appropriate way. It is important for children to understand that all feelings are normal. It is how we cope with these feelings and how we behave that really matters Below is a link to a useful booklet of activities that you can do with your child to help them understand emotions. Work through each exercise to develop your child's emotional literacy and ability to regulate their emotions. Click here: MANAGING-EMOTIONS-TOOLKIT.
7 months ago Posted on 07th Mar 2024 by Miss Mogg Building Resilience Resilience is the ability to ‘bounce back’ after challenges and tough times. For children, challenges and tough times include experiences like starting at a new school or kindergarten, moving house, or welcoming a sibling into the family. They can also include serious experiences like being bullied, family breakdown, family illness or death. Children build resilience over time through experience. You can help your child learn skills and develop resilience by having a warm, supportive relationship with them. Resilience: why it’s good for children? Children who are resilient can recover from setbacks and get back to living their lives more quickly. And when children overcome setbacks and problems, it builds their confidence and helps them feel more capable the next time a problem comes up. Resilient children are often good at solving problems and learning new skills. This is because they’re more willing to try again even if things don’t go the way they want the first time. And when things don’t go well and children feel anxious, sad, disappointed, afraid or frustrated, resilience helps them understand that these uncomfortable emotions usually don’t last forever. They can experience these emotions and know they’ll be OK before too long. Resilient children are less likely to avoid problems or deal with them in unhealthy ways, like getting defensive or aggressive or intentionally hurting themselves. Resilient children are also likely to have better physical and mental health than children who struggle to be resilient.
