What are big emotions?
Big Emotions can include worry, anxiety, fear, frustrations, anger, and excitement. Big Emotions are not bad emotions, but sometimes they may take a little bit more work to understand and manage.
How can I help my child with big emotions?
You can help your child manage their big emotions in these six ways:
- Notice and name your emotions. It’s hard to deal with your emotions if you can’t identify them.
- Understand what behaviour is acceptable. Having emotions is okay but hurting people is not.
- Count to ten.
- Breathe slowly.
- Ask for help.
- Take time to calm down.

How do you teach feelings?
A great way to help kids learn about feelings is to discuss how various characters in books or TV shows may feel. Pause to ask, “How do you think he feels right now?” Then, discuss the various feelings the character may be experiencing and the reasons why. Talking about other people’s feelings also teaches empathy.

What does a healthy relationship with parents look like?
The ability to respond to a child’s problems or feelings with acceptance, support and validation. The willingness to provide outlets for a child’s feelings that will allow the child to externalize the feelings (get them out) without hurting himself or others.
Which parent is more important?
Neither parent is more important, and both are vital. What matters most is that both parents show up and stay involved. Both parents are indispensable and hugely important to kids through all stages of life. The true extent depends a great deal on the relationships and the people involved.
Does distance help or hinder communication in a long distance relationship?
Couples in long distance relationships often speak about how the distance has actually helped them learn to communicate well, and at a very deep level. However, the opposite can also be true. Distance can also enable poor communication patterns to become established.
Should you talk to your partner when you’re long distance?
Do not spend every spare minute talking to your partner (or daydreaming about said partner). You can’t rely on your partner completely to make you happy, you should be relying on them to add to your happiness. While you’re long distance, you need to build a life where you are—a life full of friends and fun.
What are the signs of a long-distance relationship going bad?
Many of us have been in long-distance relationships (LDRs), and some go better than others. In my experience, there’s certain telltale signs that something’s off, like less communication, being “too busy” to talk, lying about one’s whereabouts, etc.
Are long distance relationships making you more depressed?
When you’re in a long distance relationship, it’s alarmingly easy to allow other important things in life—family, friendships, hobbies, exercise—to stall. But this will only make you more depressed in the short term and hurt you in the long run!
