1 Connect on an emotional level with your son or daughter.<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are some children who express<\/strong> and tell their parents what is happening to them, either because they are afraid and express it or they are worried and tell you.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there are other little ones who just have a tummy ache and don’t want to go to school, camp or grandma’s house.<\/span><\/p>\n

These children have not expressed their feelings, their emotions<\/strong>, as parents we can often detect that something is happening to our children, it can be for example that our child talks to us through a tummy ache, a bad behavior, a tantrum, etc.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”15px”]

How can we help our children express their feelings and emotions? <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”15px” background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”initial”]

We can find different activities to work on emotions with our children, through drawings, painting, music, emotional intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

A different way to help your son or daughter open up and express their emotions is through visualization, meditation or mindfulness <\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

By altering their chemical physiology through meditation, their brain begins to communicate better between their two hemispheres and it is then that they find words or ways to express what is happening to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may also have created a safe space and at that point they are open to expressing themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

As mothers or fathers or even teachers we can accompany them from another place because we come to understand them better.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important once they open up to express themselves not to judge them and to respect their moment by not wanting to impose our thoughts. You have made them open up, you have made them express themselves, it is a moment of listening, respect and lots of cuddles<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you still do the meditation or visualization and they do not express, respect that as well. In my experience, there comes a day when they do.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.teresadies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/hija-relajada-mama-meditamos.jpg” alt=”Essential oils with flowers” title_text=”daughter relaxed mom meditate” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” height=”155px” filter_opacity=”73%”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”15px”]

2- Learning to produce feelings or emotions without the need of anything external to provoke them.<\/b><\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”]

We live in a society where we want things and we make a thousand and one stories to get something. But if we scratch and go deeper we want that something to feel a certain way.<\/span><\/p>\n
