Emotional Regulation: How to Help Your Kids Cope With Their Feelings! by Mindy Hudon, M.S., CCC-SLP
Helping children to regulate their emotions means more than anger management. Teaching emotional regulation helps kids learn to cope with their feelings. Research suggests that improved emotional regulation assists children throughout their lives. Kids who can regulate emotions may improve their ability to pay attention, be more successful in school, resolve conflicts, decrease stress and be more caring towards friends. Teach your child to:
- Talk about their emotions like worry, fear, disappointment, anger and over excitement.
- Think reasonably about their emotions and how to cope and calm themselves.
- Know that it’s OK to have feelings, but not to feel overwhelmed by them.
- Model how to express, reason and cope. Showing rather than telling can be a powerful teaching tool.
