some ways to help children recognize emotion is to teach them to express and talk about their feelings.

ask questions, show empathy and set good examples for them.

[Leslie]

When a child is having an issue, I ask them questions that allow them to express their emotions. If they need time to themselves, I allow that, but if they need a support with them, I will provide that for them.

[Kaitlyn]

Using emotion charts to have children point out how they are feeling can help them to recognize emotions. Reading stories about characters who struggle with big emotions and then find solutions can also help as you can refer back to the story to help them find a response.

You can use a feelings chart, or have them do a “body check”. Also it is useful to provide exercise and play activities that integrate visual information with fine and gross motor movements such as striking, kicking, and catching, and physical activities that involve the exploration of the environment.

let them speak freely and express their emotions without reacting negatively to it. help them recognize their emotions and reactions

[Katie R.]

I think the first step is to have the child pause whatever they are doing and then do a body check. This allows them to follow a series of check-ins as we guide them through this process. Then, with some deep breaths and talking a pause, they’ll be able to better communicate how they are feeling.

Getting their emotions out to relieve the stress (like crying or throwing a tantrum), then practicing deep breathing by laying on the back and having a physical object like a stuffed animal on the stomach, then verbally communicating emotional validation and expectations.

Please consider letting the child choose what postition and where they want to take the break. Not all children are comfortable on their back. It can be a vulnerable spot.

We can start by noticing physical features like hunching shoulders of clenched fists and also by helping them explain what they are feeling by letting them show us on the emotion chart.

communicate; listen to them & let them talk it out, reflect on their feelings (“you look sad”), show them patience and kindness as they learn

[Hannah]

The best way to help children regulate their emotions is to name their emotions and why they might be feeling that way.
