Helping Your Child to Manage Their Emotions

 **Advertisement Feature**

Being able to show emotion and feeling open and comfortable enough to show emotion is a big deal and its one we should all be doing, emotions are nothing to be ashamed of. However managing our emotions is one of the ways we’re able to handle stressful situations, overcome obstacles and learn to be resilient. Even as adults there are times when we have to learn to be in control and manage our emotions in certain situations such as perhaps work. But children won’t fully know how to do this for themselves just yet but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk to children about emotions, encourage them to show and share their emotions and how to manage them too. 

From one of the best independent schools in Surrey, we take a look at the ways you can help your child to handle their emotions in school and in daily life.

Wishing Time Away.

When I look back through time I have recently realised I have been wishing my time away far to soon especially when it comes to my babies!

Whilst I was pregnant with both my babies I wished for time to speed up so that the morning sickness would go and I could finally meet by tiny baby. I wished every single month away wishing it was time to meet my baby. I was just so impatient to meet each one of them.

When my baby was finally born I wished time again all to soon again. It was the chase of the milestones we all seem too eager for our babies to meet. That first try of food, the first tooth to come through. Before you know it we are wishing the tiny babies from our arms to get down and crawl and then to walk.

It was then I realised I had wished my time away. The time in nursery seemed to zoom by and before I knew it this little baby I had welcomed into the world was heading in to the big world of school.

Its so easy to wish time away but looking back now it has made me realise I don't want time to zoom by, those milestones can wait and so can walking! I am going to sit back and enjoy every moment of playing Lego with my son and enjoying those cuddles from my little girl before she is to busy playing with her friends to give them to me.

So for now time you can slow right down, growing up can wait for my babies for now im enjoying their company, cuddles and love!
