The Importance of Reflecting Feelings

Reflecting a child's feelings is crucial in the limit setting process as it diffuses intense emotions and reinforces the child's sense of being heard and understood. By acknowledging the validity of a child's feelings, the parent can set the stage for effective limit setting without diminishing the child's emotional experience. Reflecting feelings helps maintain the relationship even during challenging behaviors and tantrums, showing the child that their emotions are accepted while behaviors may have limits.
