Learn n’ Grow - Psychological Research and Development Lab

When children are more socially and emotionally aware and skilled, they can more effectively navigate relationships, calm down and problem solve when challenges arise. But unlike many adults, it can be difficult for children to recognize and understand emotions in themselves and others without adult support. Children have times when they can feel overwhelmed or out of control but, because of their age, they’ve had less time and opportunity to learn about managing their feelings. When adults respond to children’s cues and help them manage feelings of uncertainty, helplessness, or being overwhelmed, kids feel safe and trust that they have someone to help when they need it. Gradually children learn to manage their emotions for themselves from their experiences with warm, responsive and trusted adults. When children feel calm and safe, they’re more likely to be able to focus and maintain their attention, which is central to their overall development. #emotionalregulation #emotionalintelligence #learnngrowindia #learnngrow #nehhasoni #psychology #pschosomatic #intelligence #30daychallenge #30dayreelschallenge #reelsindia #motherhood #emotionalwellbeing #raiseemotionallyhealthychildren
