Is Your Child's Affect Changing?

Your facial expression and your tone of voice have to let the child know that you are feeling something of the child's sadness and anger. The magic is in the child knowing thatyou are feeling some of their disappointment and frustration and unmet longing. One more example, a personal one. My nine year old son, eli recently told me how disappointed he was that i wasn't noticing his efforts to calm himself down.
