To help children with emotions, I focus on creating a safe space and modeling emotional literacy. I label their feelings, help them build a “feelings vocabulary,” and validate their emotions. I teach self-regulation strategies like deep breathing and offer activities like mindful movement. I try to be patient, consistent, and use positive reinforcement.

[Holly Vander Hyde]

You can give them indicators to express their emotions. You can describe how they look and tell them that to you it means a certain emotion. You ask them questions. You have a thermometer of different emotions so they can point to what they feel.

[Kaylie]

Teaching kids how to name their emotions, listening and talking with the child when they express an emotion, teaching self-regulation techniques (meditation, deep breathing techniques).

[Katie patricelli]

Letting them express their emotions and even modeling when you feel the same emotions is a critical tool for continuing furthering their emotional development

Algunas maneras de ayudar a los niños y controlar sus respuestas a las emociones usar libros o juegos emocionales Enséñales técnicas para calmarse

Great suggestions, Socorro! Using books and emotional games can effectively teach children to recognize and manage their feelings.

[Julian Nunez Alvarez]

One of the best ways to help children recognize their emotions is by using simple language to label and describe feelings, like saying, “I see you’re feeling frustrated,” or “You seem happy today.” Encouraging children to express their emotions through art, words, or play helps them understand and process their feelings. Additionally, teaching calming techniques, such as deep breathing or counting to ten, can empower children to control their responses and manage their emotions in a positive way.

Great insights, Julian! Your emphasis on using simple language and creative expression provides a solid foundation for emotional recognition and regulation.

[Teri Barrie]

Teach children emotions. Label them describe them read books about emotions show pictures of children with different emotions. Check in with the children – ask ‘how are you feeling?’ what emotion are you feeling? Play with dolls and talk about emotions.Let children know that whatever the emotion – it is A-OK!! we can talk about it.

[Trainer]

Great suggestions, Teri! Teaching through books and play fosters emotional awareness and helps children express their feelings confidently.

[Heather McCarthy]

There are multiple ways but one of my favorites is the feeling dot video and books. In these books they state that feelings are like dots that come to visit us but are not us. There are other ways to do this such as having a chart of faces that show different emotions.

[Trainer]

Great insight, Heather! Using visuals like videos and emotion charts is an effective way to help children understand their feelings.

What are some of the best ways to help children recognize their emotions and control their responses?Understanding what feelings they have behind their responses. Have meaningful nurturing conversations with children

[Steph P.]

One of my first ways to help a child recognize their emotions after they’ve calmed down is to ask “what’s going on?” or say “tell me what’s happening.” Usually, once children explain the situation, I can ask, “and how did that make you feel?” When looking back, children can describe how their bodies felt or what they were thinking, even if they don’t have the words yet to describe their emotions. I’ll then follow these descriptions up with a summary: “so I’m hearing that made you sad, angry, scared, etc.” From there, we’ll get into what we can do with those feelings, and how to find a solution to the situation at hand.
