We all feel negative emotions sometimes. They are indicators of the space between of who we are being now and Who we really are. Our children can often feel it’s wrong to feel mad or upset and yet it’s about what we do when we are in a negative space and the tools we use to feel better that can be past down to them. Shifting focus to feel better, finding things we appreciate, getting rid of anger in creative ways such as going for a run or dancing to music all shift us to feeling better. We do our children no favors to ask them to suppress how they feel, rather we can bring their awareness to it and help them feel more themselves by encouraging them to choose what they think about.
