Deep dives
Understanding Children's Emotional Needs
A primary insight is that children, such as a four-year-old girl, experience a wide range of emotions, including unhappiness, frustration, and disappointment. Parents often mistakenly believe that their child's happiness is their responsibility, but it's essential to recognize that it's normal for children to experience these negative emotions. Allowing children to feel and process their emotions fosters resilience and prepares them for real-world challenges. Therefore, parents should not take it personally if their child is unhappy or upset.
