Children, similarly, do not know how to feel about themselves without some feedback and description. But children are not looking for physical descriptions. They are in need of emotional descriptions. Parents can use the reflecting parenting tool to provide this description. The reflections parenting tool validates a child's feelings about themselves and the situations they experience every day.
Reflections are statements made by the parent about the emotional world of the child.
Interrupting, interrogating, and psychoanalyzing will not produce this effect. Parents can probably remember a situation, talking to a supervisor, friend, or loved one, where their feelings were disregarded or the problem analyzed rather than simply understood. Those kind of responses hurt old as well as young alike. The actual procedure for this parenting tool is really very simple. The first step is to remove distractions.
