Whether it is at work or in life, we cannot avoid encountering things that make us lose control of our emotions. However, how to control our emotions, especially when dealing with children, can avoid situations of loss of control. This is something every parent needs to learn and skills to master.
Cognitive causes of emotions
First of all, we need to understand the causes of emotions, whether they are caused by external stimuli or internal factors , only by understanding the causes of emotions can we better control our emotions. When your child's behavior makes you feel angry or irritable, don't rush to vent your emotions. First try to understand your child's possible needs and emotions so you can better communicate with your child.
Keep calm
When your child’s behavior irritates you, try to stay calm. When your emotions are out of control, your brain stops thinking and judging, making it difficult to make correct decisions. Therefore, no matter what situation you face, learn to stay calm.
Positive communication methods
Positive communication methods can effectively relieve tension. During the communication process, we must respect the children's emotions and establish a positive interaction model. If your child's behavior makes you angry, try expressing your emotions using "I feel" sentences to let your child know how you feel and work with them to solve the problem.
Find ways to relieve stress
When you are emotionally overwhelmed, you can try to find ways to relieve stress. For example, you can exercise, listen to music or take deep breaths. These can help you ease your mind and return to a calm state where you can better deal with your child's behavior problems.
Conclusion
Parents’ control of their emotions has an important impact on their children’s growth, development and mental health. By recognizing the causes of emotions, staying calm, communicating positively, and finding ways to relieve stress, parents can gain better control of their emotions, better respond to their children's behavioral problems, and create a more harmonious family.
