- Praise your child for identifying emotions
- Stay calm and show your child empathy when strong emotions arise
- Teach problem-solving to manage emotions
- Blow some bubbles for “calm breathing” when your child is anxious or upset
- Reflect and say back what you hear your child say- “I understand you’re mad it’s time to leave."
