Description
Emotional regulation is the key to academic success, healthy relationships, and emotional maturity... and here are some simple strategies you can use to help your kids develop theirs.
If you're a parent, you can probably recall a moment when your child just lost it. A tantrum in the middle of a grocery store... an outburst of anger that ended with broken toys... a flood of tears that made it seem like the world was about to end...
If you're a teacher, you've seen kids get into arguments because they've been unable to control their emotions... You've seen schoolbooks thrown to the floor in frustration... You've seen tears over math problems and grammar exercises...
All of these things happen because children have BIG feelings... and they don't yet know how to regulate them.
If we can show them how to do this, we give them power, and we help them grow up into empathetic, emotionally intelligent adults.
The problem is, not many of us were taught these skills ourselves. We just kind of figured it out... and that makes it very difficult to consciously give our children the tools they need to thrive.
That's where this clear and practical guide comes in.
Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or a caregiver, this book will show you exactly what you can do with the children in your life to teach them the vital emotional regulation skills that will be so important to their success and happiness throughout their lives.
Inside, you'll discover:
• Why children need to understand and identify their emotions -- and exactly what you can do to help them get there
• Mindfulness and calming techniques to help kids ground themselves when life gets overwhelming
• Practical strategies for helping your child cope with their strong emotions
• Essential tips for parents interacting with children when their emotions get the better of them
• Effective behavior strategies for children with ADHD and ASD (and why these kids sometimes need a different approach)
• A wealth of practical activities and games to help children understand their emotions and those of others
• Powerful ways to help children handle life changes, conflicts, school stress (and much more)
• What you can do to help your child build up their emotional intelligence -- and exactly why this is so important
• Easy hacks for establishing routines and collaborating with the different adults in your child's life to ensure they're getting consistent messages
• Strategies for integrating emotional regulation into daily life -- and welcoming easier mornings and bedtimes in the process!
And much more.
If you weren't explicitly taught emotional regulation skills yourself, you might wonder whether this is truly necessary.
But if you had been taught these skills at a young age, you would have been a child who found it easier to make friends, navigate the classroom, and make sense of those big feelings that sometimes make life feel overwhelming.
By teaching your child emotional regulation skills, you're giving them a gift that will continue to serve them throughout their lives -- and you'll nurture your bond with them in the process.
