How to Regulate Your Emotions
Our five year old son has been having trouble regulating his emotions for the past month or so. We believe that he is using this emotional outburst to try to manipulate the situation, since there are times when he gets what he's after. He tells us that really hurt my feelings. Or, i can't do blank, i'm so sad. These last two expressions are usually yelled at us rather than describing his state. When heis in this higher emotional state, he doesn't want to be touched or hugged, runs away and will listen to what we have to say only if he thinks he will get his way.
