Have you ever felt so annoyed with your kids that you just wanted to shut them up? For parents and kids, feelings can be a big challenge. Kids feel things, intensely, deeply, and loudly at times. It would be so much easier if kids came equipped with what it takes for them to mention and manage their emotions in socially appropriate ways. Trouble is, they don't. Parents are left to figure it out, the best they can, all on their own. By the way, that annoying BEHAVIOR you wish your child would STOP is coming from a feeling. Whether we like it or not, our kids have feelings long before they know how to use them respectfully. Deborah Woods, Parent-Child Relationship Counselor, reveals how to navigate through the complex range of emotions that accompany the human experience because ignoring feelings only makes the behavior worse. Deborah Woods, National Board Certified Counselor, reveals how to spot those feelings and call them by name because noticing and naming is where mentioning and managing feelings begins. Maybe you have an easy to live with child who keeps his feelings to himself and rarely acts out. Maybe you have a child who withdraws when he's overwhelmed by his emotions. Maybe you have a child whose life experiences challenge him beyond his ability to cope leaving you to pick up the pieces. Maybe, you have a combination of these little people in your home. Regardless, you'll find Brave Empathy a valuable tool to help you navigate through the mysterious realm of emotions.
