18 - Feelings Forever Playful Joy - a parenting podcast without the guilt
-
- Opvoeding
We all have feelings and we're going to have them forever. If you would like to learn a couple of ways to calm your children after a tantrum this is the episode for you! I walk you through the idea of a "calm down basket" and give you the steps in teaching children about their emotions. They honestly do not know what is happening to them or how to come down from it when they are having big feelings. We can name their feelings, discuss where and how they feel emotions in their body and guide them towards being able to tell us how they are feeling and why.
This is a stressful time. NEVER before in my lifetime has the entire world had so many BIG feelings all at the same time! Also, (as if that wasn't enough to deal with), a lot of us are staying at home, not seeing friends and family, and not able to attend appointments that usually keep us feeling well and balanced. The RAIN technique that I learned through Tara Brach's book and podcasts has helped me and could help your older children (and you) too!
