KEY 2: Use a Talking Voice Instead of a Fighting Voice
This week in Kimochis your child learned Kimochis Key 2. This Key will help your
child stay aware of how they use their voice. Sometimes, when we have upset feelings (hard to have) it is easy to yell or use a tone of voice that makes the situation worse instead of better. This lesson taught your child how to use a Talking Voice (calm tone of voice, slightly slowed down with appropriate volume) rather than a Fighting Voice (loud, hurtful tone of voice). When we feel upset and can use a Talking Voice, we raise the odds that others will want to understand our feelings and resolve conflicts. Make a point of acknowledging your child for using a Talking Voice when they are upset and model using a Talking Voice yourself.
Kimochis Family Challenge: Practice using a Talking Voice when expressing upset emotions.
Acknowledge others for using a Talking Voice when you know they are upset. At mealtime
everyone can share what time of day, situations, or feelings can be the most challenging to use a Talking Voice. An example might be getting out the door in the morning. Ask for family members to give you positive feedback when they see you using a Talking Voice when challenged by the difficulties of the morning routine.
