As Asians, we are not used to talking about emotions. Dealing with our children’s emotions can feel scary.

To us, it may seem like they are crying over small things or over-reacting with big outbursts, anger or violence. We often don’t know what to say or do to calm them down. Children are not born with the skills to calm themselves down, and they need our help. That is why it is important for parents to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills to help them in such situations. Otherwise, we end up reacting in negative ways which is unhealthy for our children. 

“When little people get overwhelmed by big emotions, it’s our job to share our calm, not join their chaos”. - LR Knost
