Happy, sad, angry or embarrassed, children go through the same emotions as adults do, but they don’t always know how to communicate them and may instead shut down, act out or find it more difficult to resolve negative feelings. Encouraging your child to express their feelings through emotions, you can help them talk about them more clearly and openly.
