Connection Time

Sometimes it’s all about the simplest things. Whenever we’re struggling, it’s great to go back to basics. So in an effort to keep it super simple, here are some easy ideas that kids love. Most of all, they will appreciate spending a little time together 💙

With your child, pick a word describing a feeling (joy, surprise, grateful). Take turns talking about experiencing those feelings recently, such as “I was grateful when you hugged me.” You can talk about what causes these feelings and what they make you want to do.

When you encourage your child to name their feelings and talk about how they experienced them, you’re helping them become more aware and accepting of emotions in themselves and others—which is critical to understanding the perspectives of others and getting along well with them.
