MemberApril 22, 2024 at 6:47 pmI think giving kids time to decompress from whatever stresses they may have is important, but can also include you, and doing activities with them in order to build trusting relationships they can come to when they are having stress, and can lighten their load so they don’t snap and break under the stress, and can instead bounce back.

Being at their eye level, listening and conversing with them, acknowledging their presence, and including them in activities or conversations

some examples might include asking simply about their day and what they had to eat last night for dinner. Showing them new things and again just simple communication back to them, preferably on their level so they feel listened to. Also dont hesitate to follow up with your questions the following day like, you had some trouble with the lesson yesterday, do you still need help understanding or going over anything

I couldn’t agree more with the importance of validating children’s emotions. In my experience, creating a safe space for kids to express themselves and feel heard is paramount to nurturing them. Whenever my kids experience any emotion, whether it’s joy, anger, or sadness, I make sure to acknowledge and validate their feelings. Kids craft kits have been a fantastic tool in this journey. They provide my kids with a fun and creative outlet to express themselves.

You can also engage in responsive interactions by reading children’s cues and responding in ways that ensure that the child feels heard and valued.

Lots of time should be spent play and engaging with the child, talking with them, listening to them and responding. It will help the child understand relationships with other children. When you play and interact with a child and show that you care you have a safe and loving relationship with them.

As well as, having them 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.

MemberMay 14, 2024 at 6:21 pmAn example would be listening to the child when they are confiding in you and providing comfort when needed. Engaging with them through play and getting one on one time so you can build a trusting relationship with them. Even if you are unable to give them the attention they need in the moment, acknowledging them and letting them know you hear them and will help as soon as you can.
