Description
Big emotions in little bodies can feel overwhelming, for them and for us. In this episode we dive into the foundations of emotional intelligence: naming feelings, co‑regulating, and creating a feelings‑rich environment. You’ll leave with practical tools, from calm‑down baskets to breathing games, that help children recognize and manage their emotions today while building lifelong empathy and resilience.
💡 Key Takeaways
- Name it to tame it. Labeling emotions gives kids power over them.
- Your calm is contagious. Co‑regulation precedes self‑regulation.
- Normalize feelings daily. Charts, stories, and pretend play make emotions part of the landscape.
- Use simple tools. Breathing games, weighted toys, and check‑ins turn theory into practice.
- Progress is measured in tiny moments. Consistency—not perfection—builds emotional fluency.
