When children are angry, sad, frustrated or embarrassed lots
of times parents will brush off the child’s feelings and emotions. “Oh you don’t have to get so upset.” “Your fine.”
“What’s the big deal?” “Get over
it.” Sometimes we get impatient and
irritated and yell back at them with an angry voice. Children need to learn healthy ways to express
emotions. Some of us are still working
on how to control our tempers! And we
are the adults! Children need help with
self regulating and appropriately showing emotions. They will learn from us.
