It is vital for children to develop strategies that will help them manage their emotions so that they will be able to build social-emotional skills just like adults. It’s not natural for children to know how to stay calm when confronting challenges or how to recover from failure. Children can effectively navigate relationships, calm down and problem solve when challenges arise when they are more socially and emotionally aware and skilled. It is important that we teach our children about emotion regulation, a way of expressing feelings in a constructive and healthy way because this is a critical one.
