Make Feelings Obvious
December 28, 2015
There is no poetry where there are no mistakes.

"It can be hard for children (and adults!) to tell the difference between emotions," writes Kay Albrecht in her book, SET: Social Emotional Tools for Life.
"For a toddler, there is a fine line between frustration and rage. Noticing the difference between anger and irritation, for example, requires attention to very subtle cues, such as changes in the way a mouth looks or what the eyes are doing. Children sometimes miss these important details. You can help them to learn these cues by exaggerating facial expressions and combining them with other physical cues, such as putting your hands on your hips or making big gestures with your hands."

Parents need these social emotional tools as much as teachers and children do. We all benefit, both personally and interpersonally, from increasing our emotional awareness and, as parents, we can help each other improve in this essential area. @evesullivan @parentsforum
