Listen and confirm your child's emotions.
Children's emotions require parents to pay attention to their body language, such as facial expressions and postures. Don't forget, children also observe their parents' body language. Therefore, parents can have a relaxed but focused attitude and tone without questioning, such as? You look a little tired today. Then, wait for the child's response.
Discuss the solution with your child.
Let children know that their emotions are not a problem, but deviant behavior is the problem, which is the key to help children grow and progress. Discuss ways to solve problems with your children. For example, parents can say: You are angry that Jiang Weiwen took your things. If it were you, I would be angry, but it was wrong for you to hit him. Let's see if there are other solutions.
Detect a child's mood
Children, like adults, have reasons behind their emotions, whether they know or not. When parents find that their children are angry or depressed for unknown reasons, they might as well stop to understand what happened in their children's lives and use some methods to guide their children to express various emotions safely.
Help children express their emotions in words.
Parents can respond empathetically when they see their children crying. You feel very sad, don't you? Not only let children understand, but also let children learn the words to describe emotions. Studies have shown that if a person can describe emotions with appropriate words, it can help him to obtain a soothing or calming effect on the nervous system. Of course, parents don't tell their children how to express their emotions, but simply help them develop vocabulary to express their emotions. Children, like adults, have more than two mixed emotions at the same time. Parents can let their children know that this is normal. For example, I know that you are a little excited and a little afraid to try out for the junior baseball team. ?
Observing emotions is an opportunity to approach children and teach them.
Some parents try to ignore their children's negative emotions and hope that their children's emotions will pass, but they often find that the effect is not good. In fact, the expression of emotions requires parents to help children sort out and understand emotions, so as to avoid their expansion or deterioration.
Parents should use the above methods to cultivate their children's EQ.
