👨‍👩‍👧 Empowered Parenting for Stronger Families
Course overview
Lesson Overview

2.62 – Building a “Feelings First” Habit in Talks: Prioritizing feelings before facts changes how families communicate. A “feelings first” habit means addressing emotions before logic. For example, say, “I can see you’re upset” before discussing what went wrong. This de-escalates tension and prepares the mind to reason clearly. Children feel understood, which makes them more open to feedback. Over time, this approach fosters emotional regulation and empathy. It prevents defensiveness and promotes cooperation. Parents who focus on feelings first teach that emotions deserve space, not suppression. It turns correction into connection and transforms stress into understanding. Feelings first always leads to solutions that last.
