Course overview
Lesson Overview

4.47 – Helping Children Express Sadness in Healthy Ways: Sadness can frighten children because it feels heavy and endless. Parents can help by normalizing it as a natural emotion, not a weakness. Encouraging expression through art, words, or physical comfort provides release. It’s important to avoid rushing the child to feel better. Listening quietly communicates validation more than advice. Over time, children learn that sadness can be felt safely and will pass. Healthy expression prevents emotional shutdown or acting out. By modeling empathy and presence, parents teach that emotional pain can coexist with hope.
