Hi Heather,
I must say you have shared so very helpful tips for parents. Yes, it happens many times that parents dont realize how their kids feel about any particular thing. They just see it from their point of view. These are very sensitive things about the kids brought up that parents often dont care of them.
Wonderful tips! Thanks for sharing :))
I love you! One of my pet peeves is when I see parents (myself included, at times) not validate feelings. It treacly works wonders. And, even if you have to stick by what you said (such as if they have to stop playing with a toy and it makes them upset), acknowledging their upset with a hug and a “I see you’re feeling very sad you can’t play with that anymore.” That does wonders to clear up any tantrums usually. They just want to know they are heard and they need to know their feelings are right and okay.
Anyway, I won’t ramble on. Just loved what you wrote & 100% agree (though I think you might have a couple typos saying the opposite of what you meant, though, perhaps I read it wrong. Either way, I knew what you were saying!).
What amazing advice! Thanks so much for sharing this!
I know as a tween/teen my parents didn’t validate how I thought or felt and it caused a lot of issues in our relationship. I ended up just closing them off. If they didn’t want to listen/or cared/or just wanted to shut me up then why should I share? Even now, with me in my mid-20’s, it’s still hard to communicate with my dad because he doesn’t fully acknowledge what I say.
Very insightful, I’ve been finding myself arguing with my kids a lot lately and it’s very frustrating. I’m definitely going to try these techniques.
Thanks for the tips! I need to remember this. Way too much whining lately. :)
This was such a great article. I have been so guilty of responding to my kids in the very same ways you talked about. God has been dealing with me a lot this year about my parenting, etc and I really needed to hear this.Thanks so much for sharing! :)
Hi Diana, so glad the post was helpful. We all go through those stages when we want to do “different” as parents. You can do it!
What if what they’re saying as their feelings isn’t true? Like the “Mom, I’m hunnngry.” When they were done with lunch just 10 minutes ago and I know they ate enough for 2 adults (and they’re 4 years old), I’m assuming they’re not truly hungry, but rather bored. Do I validate that too? Part of me thinks no I shouldn’t, because then I can help them figure out and understand what they’re really feeling instead. Thoughts? I think sometimes little kids don’t know what they’re feeling and how to sort it out.
I’m wondering about this too! I completely believe in validating feelings and love this article, but I also agree with Michelle; sometimes my kids often say they’re hungry when I know they’re really bored or tired but can’t figure it out. I know I do that as well at times–turn to food when what I really need is sleep. That’s not really a healthy thing to do. I’d like to help my kids sort through their feelings as well as validate their feelings…but what’s a good way to do that? Maybe something like this? “Oh, really you feel hungry? Well let’s think about what you just ate. That seems like enough for now, doesn’t it? How about we play a game together.”
Wasn’t trying to stir anything up. I really am wondering how to go about teaching my kids how to recognize what they’re truly feeling.
Amy,what a beautiful you are. And your english is perfect. From Japan. See you.
Wow, this sounds like every day in my house. I’m going to try my hardest to give this a shot, and see if it curves some of the tantrums we experience. So glad I got to read this today! Thanks!
Nicole, thank you for your comment. Glad the post was helpful. It will do wonders for the tantrums. Good luck!
