Parents/Guardians:
💢 Remember! YOU are the biggest influence on how your child handles the challenges in life. Be sure to model healthy ways of coping with the stresses and dissapointments in life.
💢 Teach children to pay attention to their bodily cues when feeling upset, because sudden changes in our physical responses often warn us that we're feeling bothered. For example, our hearts may start to beat at a faster pace, we might start feeling warm or hot, our breathing might become more rapid, or we might feel a tightening sensation in our chest. If we can recognize when this is happening, we can take action to emotionally regulate before reacting impulsively.
