Helping\u00a0children\u00a0to identify and label\u00a0emotions\u00a0is an\u00a0important first step, adults help to support children&#8217;s emotional development when they label and talk about emotions and feelings.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Ways to support children\u2019s emotional understanding:<\/strong><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask children how they feel and notice their feelings throughout the day. For example, when a child has a concern or problem, ask questions or make comments like, \u201cHow are you feeling? or \u201cIt looks like you might be feeling sad about something.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Talk with children throughout the day about emotions. For example, when reading books to children, label the characters\u2019 emotions and point out the facial expression and body language of the characters in books.<\/li>\n<li>Talk about how you are feeling during the day in appropriate ways. For example, \u201cI am feeling happy today because today we are going out for a walk!\u201d. Direct children to look at your facial expressions and body language as you say, \u201cHow can you tell I\u2019m feeling happy today?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Talk about how people might feel in different situations to help children understand the different contexts of feelings and that all people have feelings. For example, when reading books or talking with children about their own lives, ask questions like, \u201cWhy do you think she felt that way? How could you tell she was feeling sad?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Label and define feelings for children when they do not have the words to express how they are feeling. For example, \u201cIt looks like you might be sad that you won\u2019t get a turn on the swings today. That feeling is called sad. Let\u2019s figure out a plan to make you feel happy and we can come back to the park and go on the swings another day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to comment below any views from you or your child, so that other children and families can see these!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Everyone, Please click on the link &#8220;A Good Morning Message&#8221; to see some of the comments from staff and Joy our friend from inside out, we hope that reading this will support you to have conversations about your feelings and emotions.
