What to Do: Validate Their Feelings

A little empathy and recognition go a long way . . . and helps toddlers understand what they are feeling by labeling the emotion. Instead of simply directing them away from their feelings, take a moment to name it:

“I see how badly you wanted that toy. That is so, so frustrating!”

“That made you so mad.”

“You seem to really miss Mommy.”

“You really wanted to see Daddy tonight.”

“I wish I could pick you up at school today; I know it makes you feel good.”

“That scared you when the loud ambulance went by. It was really loud.”

“I know it’s so hard to wait. Mommies [daddies, teachers] are so slow, it is hard to wait for them!”
