Lesson Overview

1.46 – How to Explain a Crisis to a Two-Year-Old: Two-year-olds don’t need details—they need tone. Use gentle, concrete language like “Loud sounds make us hide and stay safe.” Avoid abstract words that add confusion. Pair short phrases with actions: “We sit,” “We breathe.” Children read calm faces more than words. Maintain eye level and open posture; fear shrinks when safety looks steady. Validate feelings simply—“That was scary,” followed by “We’re okay.” Repeat safety cues until body tension softens. Once calm, resume play quickly to restore normalcy. Over time, consistent responses teach pattern recognition: fear rises, safety follows, calm returns. Explaining crisis through warmth rather than logic builds resilience early. Emotional literacy begins through tone long before vocabulary develops, and your steady presence writes that first lesson.
