Kids Emotions: Inside vs. Outside
The image of an iceberg 🧊 always comes to mind when thinking of the behavior we see on the surface vs what is really going on deep below. Remember...
✨Feelings, urges, and sensations are what drive behavior.
- When your kid is feeling anxious, they might express it with whining
- When your kid is feeling overwhelmed, they might express it with mean words
- When your kid is feeling lonely, they might express it with clinginess
- When your kid is feeling pressured, they might express it with aggression
🤔Getting curious about the behavior we are seeing in our children can help us connect with the feelings that might be hiding underneath, waiting to be validated and connected with. ❤️
