A Note from the Team
A Note from the Team
In order to problem solve responses, children have to identify the correct way they are feeling about a situation. We call this emotional literacy. When children react or exhibit adverse behavior, they respond based on the closest emotion they know. If we give advice based on only what we see, we can confuse them further causing frustration. If a child responds by crying, we may assume they are angry or sad when they may actually be embarrassed.
It is important that children can recognize and explain a variety of emotions that they feel. Once they can identify it, we can teach them an appropriate technique for responding to that emotion in an appropriate way.
