  • Children are innocent and still figuring out
    the ways to manage different situations. At this
    stage, many children find it difficult to
    regulate their emotions. Throwing tantrums,
    outbursts, whining, defiance, fighting - these
    are the most common behavioral symptoms Preschool
    Torrance, CA teachers observe when kids
    experience any powerful feeling that they cannot
    control. In such situations, parents and teachers
    should help them to calm down and that can be
    done through various techniques.

  • Thinking about their emotions
  • Parents can initiate the process at home by
    helping children understand how different
    emotions work and this is a time-consuming
    process. Some kids hesitate to acknowledge
    emotions but naming and accepting these emotions
    is the foundation to manage and solve them.
    Parents may also minimize negative feelings
    because they want their children to be happy. But
    kids also need to understand that feeling happy
    is not the only emotion, in reality, humans go
    through a range of other feelings.

  • Model managing difficult feelings
  • According to Preschool Torrance,
    CA teachers, adults should describe their
    feelings and model managing them in front of
    children. Children will see you strategizing your
    feelings, when you are experiencing strong
    emotions, and how you are going to manage it.
    Slowly gradually they will also learn those
    techniques to handle their emotions.

  • Validate their feelings
  • Many parents think validation is a powerful
    tool for helping kids calm down by communicating
    that you understand and accept what they are
    feeling right now. Effective validation means
    paying absolute attention to your children. It is
    very important to show them that you are
    listening to them and trying to understand how
    they are feeling right now. This will help to
    avoid explosive behavior.

  • Active ignoring
  • Validating feelings does not mean you are
    giving attention to bad behavior. You should
    ignore behaviors like whining, arguing, using
    inappropriate language, or throwing things. You
    will notice that little bit of ignorance will
    reduce the chances of this kind of behavior being
    repeated.
  • Clear expectations
  • Adults need to make their expectations clear
    to the children and help them to follow a proper
    schedule throughout the day. Following a
    structured plan help, children manage their
    emotions and calm down.
