How can I help my child manage their emotions better?

It's great that you want to support your child! Understanding their emotional triggers is key. Can you share some situations where they seem to struggle?

They often get upset when they have to share toys with others.

Sharing can be tough for many children. It might help to talk to them about their feelings and practice sharing in a safe environment.

What if they still refuse to share even after talking about it?

If they refuse, try to model sharing behavior yourself and encourage playdates where sharing is part of the activity. Positive reinforcement can also help!

That makes sense! How can I teach them to express their feelings verbally?

You can teach them simple words to describe their feelings, like 'happy', 'sad', or 'frustrated'. Role-playing different scenarios can also be effective.
