\n

Information to help you in keeping your child feeling respected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Respecting and responding to your child’s feelings<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is normal to feel stressed, overwhelmed or even scared in the current circumstances. You may also notice this in your children and be seeing a change in their behaviour. Some of the changes you might see are on the\u00a0World Health Organisation<\/a>\u00a0website\u00a0with some ideas of how to support children. Some other reasons children might be feeling this way,\u00a0the reasons for each and how to manage them can be found using the link\u00a0Barnardos – Talking About Feelings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All behaviour is communication<\/strong><\/p>\n

Try speaking to them about how they are feeling. A helpful visual for this is an\u00a0anger iceberg<\/a>.\u00a0You could also talk\u00a0to them about different feelings and times you have felt happy, excited, sad, stressed or angry – at an age appropriate level. Advice on how to talk to children about feelings can be found on\u00a0Barnardos – Talking About Feelings<\/a>\u00a0and for younger children, have a look on\u00a0cbeebies<\/a>. Remember that all feelings are ok but not all behaviours are.<\/p>\n

Planning and working together<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the key factors that can help your child develop is by ensuring that they are involved in decision making about them and that their opinions are listened to. This can help build their self-esteem. This can be done in lots of ways, including working together to plan routines, activities and what help they might need. Some ideas to help with this can be found on this\u00a0Home Schooling<\/a>\u00a0site.<\/p>\n

Showing gratitude<\/strong><\/p>\n

Showing appreciation should be done for each other in the home too as this supports emotional development. Some ways to do this can be through using a\u00a0kindness calendar<\/a>\u00a0which can help children and young people show respect though learning about and carrying out kind acts.<\/p>\n

Another way to practise gratitude is by scheduling time with your child to have a think about how to document this, and respecting the way in which they would like to. Some ideas and choices include making use of a\u00a0gratitude journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Helping children to see and respect other people’s views<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children can also be supported with their emotional development through discussion that people might have differing thoughts, opinions and views about different situations. Lots of ideas for helping your child develop respectful relationships with others can be found on\u00a0Kidscape<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the use of\u00a0social stories and conversations<\/a>\u00a0can be a great way to develop their ability to understand and relate to the positions of others, and be able to accept that others may have different opinions than them. These resources\u00a0were\u00a0developed for children with autism, however can be very useful for all children and young people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
