  2. Children are innocent and still figuring out the ways to manage different situations. At this stage, many children find it difficult to regulate their emotions. Throwing tantrums, outbursts, whining, defiance, fighting - these are the most common behavioral symptoms Preschool Torrance, CAteachers observe when kids experience any powerful feeling that they cannot control. In such situations, parents and teachers should help them to calm down and that can be done through various techniques.

  3. Thinking about their emotions: Parents can initiate the process at home by helping children understand how different emotions work and this is a time-consuming process. Some kids hesitate to acknowledge emotions but naming and accepting these emotions is the foundation to manage and solve them. Parents may also minimize negative feelings because they want their children to be happy. But kids also need to understand that feeling happy is not the only emotion, in reality, humans go through a range of other feelings.

  4. Model managing difficult feelings: According to Preschool Torrance, CA teachers, adults should describe their feelings and model managing them in front of children. Children will see you strategizing your feelings, when you are experiencing strong emotions, and how you are going to manage it. Slowly gradually they will also learn those techniques to handle their emotions.

  5. Validate their feelings: Many parents think validation is a powerful tool for helping kids calm down by communicating that you understand and accept what they are feeling right now. Effective validation means paying absolute attention to your children. It is very important to show them that you are listening to them and trying to understand how they are feeling right now. This will help to avoid explosive behavior.

  6. Active ignoring: Validating feelings does not mean you are giving attention to bad behavior. You should ignore behaviors like whining, arguing, using inappropriate language, or throwing things. You will notice that little bit of ignorance will reduce the chances of this kind of behavior being repeated. • Clear expectations: Adults need to make their expectations clear to the children and help them to follow a proper schedule throughout the day. Following a structured plan help, children manage their emotions and calm down.
