Highlighting the emotion and the actions that many children enjoy To regulate - SILLY. Inspired by the giggles from Clap your hands together. This also reminded me of how when my kids needed a time ‘out’ when they were little we did time ‘ins’ where we worked on finding an activity to use their emotions, and their energy from their emotions towards doing. If they used their hands to hit then we focused on drawing. If they used their mouth to spit then we worked sang a song. If they used a mean tone of voice or word then we read a book. Emphasizing there are things you can do instead of that action and that they had a choice of time in or time out.

Teaching Children How to Identify and Regulate Emotions

Teaching Children How to Identify and Regulate Emotions

# data[].attributes.body
Found this article in my inbox. Like how it explains what parents can do when children experience emotional storms and confirms the three ideas this training was built upon--identifying, rating, and regulating emotions.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Acknowledging a child's emotions, putting words on anger, fear, sadness, joy and disgust is essential to allow children to identify them, to learn to name them and, little by little, to start overcoming them.

Before the age of 4 or 5, a child is in the grip of great emotional storms, which they will cross without any filter. There is no need to threaten or punish them for these raw emotions. If the child is alone in the grip of their fears, their anxieties or their anger, their system secretes stress molecules very toxic for their fragile brain and prevents them from maturing.

The Role of Adults in Supporting Emotional Expression

The role of the adult is fundamental because an unpractised child cannot control their emotions alone. Emotions do not have to be determined as either good or bad but constitute a biological reaction to an external event experienced by the child. Emotions are therefore essential signals for childcare professionals in order to take into account the child's condition, without judgment. Listening to the child's emotions with kindness brings great well-being to the child who feels recognised.

The appropriate attitude of adults with children should be:

put words on a child's emotions (eg, you are sad, you were afraid...);

to understand the emotion (you are ____ because ____ and it's hard for you);

to appease the child with a warm tone, an understanding and affectionate attitude.

When the child feels safe and confident, their body secretes oxytocin, the hormone of comfort and well-being.

Emotional Competence

Emotional competence is a development process which includes three interrelated competencies:

From a very young age, children already experience a wide range of emotions in social situations and in non-verbal exchanges (smiling, crying, hugging, sulking). As cognitive development progresses, and as the emotional brain matures, children can recognise their own emotions and those of others. This recognition and understanding of emotions allows children to control and modify their emotions in order to cope with conflicting or complex situations.

Compared to children with emotional development problems, children with more developed emotional intelligence are more likely to adopt empathic and pro-social behaviours, express appropriate emotions, be encouraged in their learning, and adapt to do so in the face of negative emotions. All of these social skills support academic success in the first years at school and positive interpersonal relationships with peers and adults.

The Emotions in Question

Emotions appear in waves. The primary emotions (fear, anger, sadness, disgust, joy, etc.) are related to the first year of life, while the secondary emotions (embarrassment, guilt, shame, etc.) usually speak at the end of the second year.

The mental representation that children have of themselves is acquired at around two years of age and the norms, rules and objectives conveyed by those around them open the way to introspective emotions, such as embarrassment.

Emotions play an important role in the development of psychopathologies during childhood. Children who have had negative social experiences, such as mistreatment or insecurity, show vigilance when threatened, so they adopt behaviours of anxiety, aggression and fear to protect themselves.

Their negative affectivity, their poor regulation of emotions and the imbalances of the different emotional systems of their brain (fear, care systems, etc.) predict internal and external disorders (depression and aggression, respectively).

What Can We Do?

We know that emotions are involved in decision-making, which only highlights the importance of taking them into consideration as a key part of a child's development.

To support children's emotional competence, professionals are encouraged to imitate various emotional expressions.

Dolls, puppets, card games and any medium depicting emotions and expressions can all be used as excellent communication and dialogue tools.

Imitate these emotions to help teach children how to identify each emotion. Making it easier for them to build positive and supportive relationships. Happiness can be learned!

Make available to children mask which represents different feelings of emotions.
Let each child hoose from the selection the one  that represents how they are feeling. Once the child has picked a mask allow them to take turns explaining the reason that they chose that particular one. Discuss in a group session.

I think my child needs more than basic feelings words. She has a large vocabulary but even larger feelings. She has recently cried during class because she felt manipulated, and other time because she felt patronized. But she doesn't know these words.

I understand that the Covid-19 pandemic has created the need for educators to expand their horizons. I appreciate the videos which demonstrates the emotions that children experience when abrupt changes take place in their lives.
I found what helps me to understand some emotions that my students are experiencing is to draw pictures or (according to age) participate in journal writing. I think that my younger students could make a collage expressing their feelings.
A collage may encourage free thinking and allow them to not be inhibited in their responses.
