Lesson Overview

4.2 – Helping Kids Name Their Feelings: Teaching children to name their emotions transforms confusion into understanding. Many young minds feel anger, sadness, or excitement without knowing the right words to express them. By labeling emotions, parents give children language that organizes inner experiences into manageable ideas. This process decreases impulsive reactions because it slows thinking and invites reflection. Naming feelings can be practiced through games, storybooks, and daily check-ins. It helps children connect physical sensations—like tight chests or quick breathing—to specific emotions. When a child can say “I feel nervous” instead of crying or lashing out, self-awareness grows. Parents should model this openly by describing their own emotions calmly. Over time, emotional vocabulary becomes a shared family language that replaces guessing with understanding. This foundation builds lifelong communication skills that enhance empathy and connection.
