The foundation of a person's emotional life is laid from childhood,
in the process of communication with parents. If parents don't talk enough
with the child about emotions and feelings, or if the manifestations of the child's feelings
face a categorical reaction from parents, it can serve
the cause of emotional problems already in adulthood.
How to teach a child to understand their emotions and feelings?
- often talk to your child about your own feelings
- ask, what the child felt, going through this or that experience/event
- tell the child, that all emotions are important and that it is perfectly normal to feel and express them
- do not judge or criticize the emotional manifestations of the child
