Sometimes this is great advice. Sometimes saying a feeling is not necessarily gives a better signal to a kid. Because some things are only scary when people say that it can be scary.
Not really it shows you are not understanding them and not allowing them to process the survival energy that must complete and go out of the body to allow for that to happen. Never tell a child that fell and hurt her or himself it’s ok let them cry it out and then come back to the environment on thier own we must just be there as a strong stable figure saying I’m here take your time.
Please speak on dealing with a toddler being scared of the dark/monsters/etc. My kid isn’t wanting to walk down a dark hallway so I’ve done the routine where I assure him there’s nothing there and walk with him to show him and teach him to turn on the hallway light etc., but at some point I’m wondering when to say that you can’t always have me to hand hold and you need to face the fear to overcome it in his own mind.
Wow, Thank u
Just bought your book 📚, arriving today can't wait
