Its easy to forget as a parent that our children learn directly from our behaviour, that they mirror us everyday. We want them to be ok, but are we demonstrating how to be ok?
We show them how to clean their teeth, make food, tie shoelaces, be kind, but we also need to show them how to feel and express emotion.
Role modelling how you are feeling, what challenges you've faced, the ups and downs of your day offers them a safe space to express their emotions. The more 'normal' it is in their home environment, the better. The more emotional language you can teach them, the easier it will be for them to identify what they are feeling and communicate it.
