Children often have BIG emotions—both positive and negative—and learning to recognize, name, and manage these feelings is essential for their social and emotional development. In this episode, we welcome Sandy Resa and Michelle Denney from the Truman Pierce Institute to discuss practical strategies for helping young children navigate their emotions. They'll share insights from their educator training, offering guidance on how early childhood professionals can create emotionally responsive environments, support emotional check-ins, and validate children's experiences. Join us for this important conversation on fostering emotional intelligence in the early years!
Key Takeaways for Listeners:
1. Recognizing emotions is the first step – Helping children notice and label their feelings builds emotional intelligence.
2. Words matter – Using emotional vocabulary and modeling appropriate expressions teaches children how to communicate their feelings.
3. Validation is powerful – Acknowledging a child's emotions helps them feel seen and heard, making it easier for them to navigate big feelings.
4. Guidance, not suppression – Instead of shutting down emotions, educators and caregivers should equip children with tools to manage and express them effectively.
5. Educators play a crucial role – Emotionally responsive classrooms create safe spaces where children can learn, grow, and develop strong social-emotional skills.
