If, under the pressure of children’s emotions, the parent’s “no” always turns into “yes,” the child concludes that his inner dragon is so strong that even his parents cannot cope with it.
At a moment when a child next to you shows strong emotions, imagine a large transparent container. Imagine what color is the child's emotion?
What shape? Imagine filling a transparent container with emotion. What does this exercise do? Helps you stay calm.
Tolerating children's emotions does not mean suppressing them. Rough suppression: “Shut up! Shut up, I told who!” - this is also about the inability to withstand. It is important to convey your confidence to your child, non-verbally making it clear: “Everything is okay, experiencing emotions is normal. I can handle any of your emotions. It won't destroy me."
