Lesson Overview

1.36 – Hiding Crying From Your Child (When You Need To): Shielding your toddler from your tears can sometimes preserve their sense of safety while you reset. Step briefly into a nearby room or turn away, ensuring they remain physically secure. Let emotions release fully without suppressing breath. Wipe your face, take deep steadying inhales, and re-enter calmly. Later, if they notice, offer a soft truth: “I was sad, but I’m better now.” Avoid denial; small honesty builds trust. Releasing tears privately protects them without teaching avoidance—it models self-regulation. Prepare soothing sensory tools—a cool washcloth, slow music—for faster recovery. Emotional hygiene matters like hand-washing after germs; it prevents spread of tension. Hidden crying becomes strength when paired with return to warmth. Containment followed by reconnection shows your toddler how to manage big feelings responsibly and tenderly.
