Emotions Discussion Guide Anyone who's been around children for any length of time knows that their access to feelings is vast and immediate.
Children cry, scream, and laugh readily.
They express their emotions easily and authentically in the moment. As parents, we have rich opportunities to assist children in their exploration of feelings. We can teach our kids that feelings are worth listening to, that everyone has them, and that emotions are a vital part of the human experience. In sharing these lessons, we provide children's first schooling in emotional literacy. Everyone, both parents and children, have feelings all of the time.
