Ability to Talk with Family
Sharing feelings and emotions gives you a sense of belonging and feeling understood.
It is also an important way to bring down stress levels which helps to prevent feelings from becoming toxic. Sharing feelings is a great opportunity for families and caregivers to help children build emotional intelligence by coaching them through their feelings. Family and child interactions help children to develop the ability to recognize, communicate and regulate their emotions.
Social and Emotional Competence is a Protective Factor that helps families teach children how to have healthy relationships.
The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.
