Well the first step starts with you! Talk, talk, talk!
We spend our days usually asking others “how are you?”, but have we really
considered or expected all the possible outcomes? The first step is to teach
children how to identify which emotion it is that they’re feeling. The Whole-
Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind Is
a wonderful and easy to use book, explaining strategies on how we can
successfully guide our children - such as being able to
emotionally regulate oneself. The book also includes a
wheel of emotions, so children as young as three, are able
to understand the variety of emotions human beings can
feel. By encouraging our children to openly talk to us about their feelings, we can learn more about
their temperament and we can serve as protective factors should any future issues arise. Children
are safer when they are aware and accepting of their feelings which are often temporary ones,
as well as when they feel comfortable to discuss it with you – their loving parents. What a great
way to spend time understanding our children!
Below you can find the simplified version of The Whole-Brain Child’s 12 strategies. It’s hard
for innate patterns to be changed, but that is why we can practice, practice, practice. Some techniques are
as simple as mindful breathing. These strategies help us better connect with our children, and ensure their
well being is always a priority.
