Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.91 – Helping Children Understand Mood Changes: Mood swings can confuse children who don’t yet grasp emotional patterns. Teach them that feelings rise and fall like weather. Use metaphors—sunny for happiness, cloudy for sadness—to make the concept relatable. Track moods on charts or calendars to build awareness of triggers. Explain that sleep, food, and stress affect emotions physically. Parents can share their own mood changes openly to normalize fluctuation. Encourage reflection after intense moods to find lessons within shifts. Reassure that bad moods don’t mean bad people; they’re simply signals. Over time, children learn to observe emotion without panic or shame. Understanding mood cycles builds patience and compassion toward self and others.
