Understanding Normal Feelings

Validating someone's feelings as normal and part of the human experience is incredibly helpful in providing comfort and reassurance. This validation can be especially beneficial for children navigating new or challenging situations, as it helps them feel understood and less alone in their experiences. By emphasizing that what they are feeling is completely normal, it provides a sense of companionship through hardships and helps them realize that others go through similar emotions, reducing the feeling of being abnormal or alone.
