Strong Emotions
December 22, 2014
To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions.
-William James

The Office of Head Start in the US Department of Health and Human Services, offered this advice to parents:

"Young children have very strong emotions. In the process of learning to express them in words, they sometimes lose control. When you help your child manage feelings, you teach self-control and social skills. Both are important for school success. Here are some tips they offered:

  • Use words — in English or your home language — that your child understands.
  • Encourage your child to talk about feelings.  Respond with empathy.
  • Use books and pictures — or songs and videos — to talk about how people look and act when they feel different emotions.
  • Discuss new ways your child can respond when feeling stressed.
  • Describe positive ways to help calm down when emotions feel out of control.
