Lesson Overview

2.74 – Reflecting Feelings Before Offering Advice: When emotions rise, advice can sound like dismissal. Reflecting feelings first means acknowledging your child’s emotional experience before problem-solving. Saying, “You seem really disappointed” shows validation. Once they feel understood, they’ll be ready to hear solutions. This approach builds trust and reduces defensiveness. Over time, it helps children process emotions more clearly and calmly. Parents who practice reflection teach emotional literacy and empathy. Reflecting first transforms advice from correction into care. It reminds children that before being guided, they deserve to be heard.
