À propos de cet audio
Let's start by finding a comfortable position. Maybe you're sitting at the kitchen counter, or nestled in a quiet corner. Gently close your eyes if that feels okay, and take three slow, deliberate breaths. Imagine each inhale bringing calm energy into your body, each exhale releasing any tension or worry.
Today, we're exploring a technique I call the "Emotional Weather Map" - a powerful way to help both you and your children navigate big feelings. Think of emotions like weather patterns. Just as clouds move across the sky, feelings move through us - they're temporary, always changing.
When your child experiences a strong emotion - maybe frustration, sadness, or anger - imagine you're a compassionate meteorologist. You're not trying to change the weather, but simply observing it with curiosity and kindness. So instead of saying "stop crying" or "calm down", you might say, "I see you're feeling stormy right now. Would you like to talk about what's happening?"
This approach does something magical. It validates their experience. It teaches emotional intelligence. It shows them their feelings are welcome, not something to be feared or suppressed.
Practice this with yourself first. When you feel a challenging emotion rising, pause. Take a breath. Notice the emotion without judgment. "Oh, I'm feeling stressed right now." Just naming it creates some space, some perspective.
As we close, I invite you to carry this "Emotional Weather Map" into your day. Remember: emotions are visitors, not permanent residents. They'll pass through, just like clouds crossing the sky.
