How to let children correctly recognize various emotions

1. Let children identify with themselves and have emotional space.

For the child to like himself, the family should give the child a sense of identity. Parents are the role models of their children, parents must first learn to manage their emotions, do not let bad emotions bring to the family, bring children, to create a safe, warm, peaceful psychological situation, with an appreciative eye to encourage their children, so that the children in it have a positive self-identity, gain a sense of security, so that they can feel and express their emotions freely and openly, so that some of the original normal emotional feelings will not be degraded due to repression.

2. Let children recognize emotions and express emotions.

Through the dialogue between parents and children, children can correctly understand various emotions and express their true feelings at this moment. Only by knowing what to think can we know what to understand. Usually, parents can take the opportunity to guide their children to know that "Mom is so happy" and "Well, I'm sad" and so on, so that children know that people have so many emotions, and we can also use the sentence "Mom is angry because .......""I feel a little sad because of ......Tell your child about your emotions**, and you can also ask your child, "How do you feel?"

Mom is angry and sad to see you, can you tell me what happened? Dialogues to guide children to express their emotions and discover the reasons for their emotions are conducive to improving children's emotional sensitivity.

For example, use the "Positive Discipline Emotional Face" to understand different emotions with your child. For kindergarten children, you only need to understand the basic emotions, such as happy, sad, angry, sad. As you get older, you can slowly teach your child to recognize more emotions, such as fear, anxiety, disappointment, etc.

and how to identify these emotions through cues from the body. For example, when you are happy, the corners of your mouth will be raised and your eyes will be crooked. Wait.

Praise your child for their efforts. Praise your child as soon as he or she talks to you about his or her feelings.

Tell your child that you want to know how they feel, and that whatever their feelings are, you can accept them as long as they can be said truthfully.

When your child thinks about how his emotions may affect others and chooses the right way to express his emotions, it is important to praise him or her for his or her efforts.

Strengthen emotional communication with your child. Encourage your child to talk about their feelings. When you have the opportunity, practice expressing these feelings in an appropriate way.

For example, when you play with your child, you can ask your child to think back to what emotions and feelings he had today. You can then tell your child how you reacted when you heard it.

Children need to be asked to stay calm when they encounter things and not to vent their temper casually.

It is necessary to communicate and communicate with the child more, so that the child can understand his own state, so that the child can have a full understanding of some things.

At this time, parents must correctly guide their children, first of all, to set a good example for their children, parents should strictly control their emotions.

For children to show confidence, optimism, humor, and interpersonal skills, parents need to start with the details of life. The first step to improving emotional intelligence is to recognize and be aware of emotions.

Recognize emotions. Children want to listen to stories and watch cartoons, this is a very good opportunity to help children understand emotions, and guide children to pay attention to observe and experience the emotions of the characters in cartoons.

You can also use some facial expressions to let children recognize different emotions.

Help your child become aware of his or her emotions.

Once we have learned about different emotions, we need to help our children become aware of their own emotions.

For example, if a child starts crying because the blocks are upside down, we need to show the child his emotions. "Isn't my mother a little frustrated when she sees that the building blocks that the baby has finally built have fallen? ”

Or maybe the child can't help crying because of the problem. "Baby, the argument hand question makes you feel a little nervous, doesn't it? ”

Mom and Dad must show absolute patience and reassure the child and say, "Mommy can feel your emotions, you can tell me how you feel, and we will communicate and find a way together." ”

Through such dialogues, first of all, the children continue to feel and experience different emotions in their lives, such as anger, sadness, grievance, and ......excitement

If you don't have these two steps, you will feel as if the child is losing his temper for no reason, and he can't tell him what is wrong when you ask him, in fact, we have not taught the child to be aware of his emotions, and the child is psychologically uncomfortable and he doesn't know what is going on with him, and he is also very uncomfortable.

Ways to deal with emotions in an emergency.

After becoming aware of emotions, we need to teach children some ways to deal with emotions in an emergency.

For example, you can teach your child how to breathe deeply, close his eyes slightly, and try to inhale through his nose. Hold your breath gently and count slowly.

One, two, three; Slowly exhale through your mouth and count at the same time.

One, two, three, repeat more than three times until the breath is exhausted and the brother is trapped. Exhale all the depressed anger in your heart, so that what accumulates is good emotions and good feelings, and a very simple way to stabilize your emotional state.

When children are emotionally stable, we can also enlighten children to supplement emotional content, so that they can have a basic ability to perceive their emotions and find a suitable way to deal with emotions, such as doing sports, going outdoors, taking a hot bath, drinking a cup of hot tea or writing down their mental activities. In this way, the child's ability to deal with emotions will be improved.

When we learn to be aware of and manage our own emotions, we will gradually be able to understand and feel the emotions of others, learn to empathize with others, and be able to look at ourselves and others more objectively. In this way, children will not be afraid to express themselves for fear of making mistakes and being laughed at by others.

The important thing to educate children is to master good methods, and I believe that through simple methods that continue to accumulate in daily life, they can slowly grow into a better version of themselves!

Children are actually very simple, they can easily express their inner world, such as losing their temper when they are depressed, sweating and shaking when they are nervous, and crying when they are sad. So when a child cries and loses his temper a lot, don't be annoyed, it just means that he is listened to by his parents, which is a natural process to remove tension and confusion.

A child's fears and sorrows are like an extra burden on him that can affect his concentration. If children can fully vent their emotions and get rid of these excess burdens, they can regain some of their true nature, such as self-confidence, positivity, cooperation with others, and so on. Often, when an adult notices that a child is showing emotion, the typical response is to take swift steps to help the child regain calm.

The reason for this is that adults are very worried that children will become irrational and thus observe things with prejudices. As everyone knows, this approach often backfires. The correct approach is to give the child at least care, affirmation and respect when he sees his emotions, which will help the child to express his emotions and improve his observation and self-confidence.

When your child starts crying or has a tantrum, parents should not rush to stop it, but listen kindly and continuously. You can be kind to your child, gently touch or hug him, and say a few words of concern. For example, you can say:

Mom loves you, and I'm sad that something like this happened. But be careful not to talk too much. If you talk too much at this time, you will be above your child in this communication and will not be able to listen to your child.

At this time, the child needs you to listen to his thoughts more than try to correct him. When children vent their emotions through anger or crying, they will feel relaxed and refreshed, so that they can readjust their consciousness.

You know, when the child cries and loses his temper, he will feel that his world has collapsed, at this time you stay with him, do not ask for anything, pass on your love to him, sooner or later he will fix his world, and your care for him will make his world more vibrant. In other words, when a child cries and loses his temper, instead of trying to control him and divert his attention, it is better to accompany him and wait for him to return to normal.
