Hi there, thanks for linking up with the parenting tips linky. What a great post, EQ is really important for children, and as parents we play a key role in helping our children understand how they are feeling and taking away some of the mystery for them as they are growing around those feeling and emotions. I love the button bot – what a great idea to use it as an aid to clarify and explain children and characters emotions as well. xx

I came here from your recent post. Beautiful. Somewhere my being impatient, irritated-all-the-time being is changing Aarya too. I am sick of my behavior, and in my heart I have decided to change…. this just gave me enough reasons to start the changing in me and talk about emotions with him too. Naming the emotion – is the 1st step (thanks for the tips)

Awesome post, I never really thought of this topic sad to say. But I think I do a lot of the things you mentioned naturally. However, i need to express my frustrations better especially in front of my child, I sometimes say to myself when he is frustrated and fussing and overly agitated, man he is really my child. But really it’s probably him mimicking how I usually deal with things when I am fed up and frustrated. Sometimes I forget little eyes and ears are on me.
You’ve given me a lot to be sure I consider when reacting to things.
