examples of responsive exchanges you may want to use in everyday interactions with children.
Lots of time spent playing, talking, listening and interacting with you also helps your child learn key life skills, like communicating, thinking, solving problems, moving and being with other children and grown-ups. And when you play with your child, it builds your relationship.

Responsive exchanges between a child and a trusted adult like talking the child through their emotions and having you there to explain to them why they may feel sad or how different kinds of stressors can make them feel angry or sad. That kind of connection/support can help the children develop the skills they need to handle their emotions and understand why they are feeling that way.

[Maria]

To understand the child, an adult needs to see and hear the child, and if an adult sees something wrong with a child, an adult needs to talk to him in a calm atmosphere and understand him.

[Haley]

Creating a safe and trusting relationship and environment with the children is so important. Helping them manage and regulate their emotions can teach them how to solve issues they are facing. Eye contact and good listening skills helps the child to feel heard and seen. Allowing children to solve problems on their own with your guidance can be so helpful when future conflicts arise.

[Jailee]

Its important that there is trust established in the relationship between you and the child. Offer games to play or activities, and perhaps read books about stress and anxiety to help children learn ways that they can manage those feelings. Make sure that they know that they can come to a teacher if they need support.

[Jamie]

These are great ideas.

-I want to help them learn different strategies for managing their emotions. Acknowledge that their feelings are valid but help show them ways to identify what they’re feeling and how they can communicate/ cope with those feelings.

-Lead by example and not just by words!

-Instead of telling them they are doing something wrong, help them recognize the cause and effect of our actions and introduce alternative ways to express what they want/ need.
