  This free infographic will serve as a visual reminder to prioritize time for listening to emotions in the beginning, middle or end of a hectic day.
  To slow down and validate your child's feelings (and your own!)
  EXERCISE: Each day, share what you are feeling with your child as a way to connect.
  Then ask your child,
  "What are you feeling? (Sad)
  Hi part that is sad, what are you trying to tell us about what matters?"
  It is a human need to be seen, heard and valued; kids especially. Asking about feelings is a great way to meet that need on a regular basis.

  Notice where we go wrong with emotions and what to do instead.

  Turn around hard family dynamics.
  What our 'go to' emotional armor is and the first step to take it off so we can connect.

  Want to understand why emotions are hard and what we get wrong?
  Especially when facing anger?
  We develop armor or old protective patterns to offload, numb, rationalize, repress our emotions instead of experiencing them. But armor and avoiding emotions comes at a cost as it breaks the link to our needs/values and what really matters.

You'll also see how using concepts and practices from Brene's Atlas will create opportunities for emotional recognition, body experience and validation which all support less meltdowns and more meaningful connection.
