Helping your toddler manage emotions involves:
- Labeling Emotions: Teach them to identify and label their feelings (e.g., “You seem angry” or “I can see you’re happy”).
- Using Simple Techniques: Introduce simple calming techniques, like deep breathing or counting to ten.
- Encouraging Expression: Encourage them to express their feelings verbally or through drawing.
- Providing Comfort: Offer comfort and support when they are upset, helping them feel secure.
