DIY I Spy Jar
Being supportive of children while they explore their emotions, especially when they are overwhelmed, is so important in teaching them emotional intelligence. Looking past their struggles as behaviour and finding the cause of what is troubling their precious minds, to help them by talking through, being understanding and offering them advice and guidance as well as assurance that what they are feeling is okay. Building that trust and connection with children is everything and helps their wellbeing and growth mindset. Providing them with resources to help them feel grounded is a fantastic way to assist them through their development.
