9 Things to Never Say to Your Child

Mum Central21 Aug, 2023Other

As our children bottle up their feelings, they can develop mood problems, such as anxiety or depression. Avoid telling your child how to feel by instead validating their feelings, letting them know it?s ok to feel how they feel. You could say something like, ?It looks like you?re really upset/angry/frustrated right now.? Then you could try to slowly engage them in an activity that can calm them down, such as colouring, drawing, walking/running outside, or listening to music. For my little guy, building blocks are his go-to.
