Each year, we become more aware of how our daily interactions with our children can shape their future emotional health. But what exactly are the benefits of raising an emotionally healthy child, and why should it matter to you?
Helping kids grow emotionally healthy can counter the increasing rates of anxiety and depression among young children. It involves teaching emotional intelligence skills, enabling them to navigate life’s ups and downs without resorting to unhealthy coping methods like food, alcohol, drugs, or self-harm.
It also means giving your child the skills in communication and conflict resolution that will help on the playground in third grade and later in life when facing relationship challenges. By encouraging healthy self-confidence and self-esteem, you avoid the damaging effects of shame, criticism, and negativity, choosing instead a firm yet respectful approach.
Fostering your child’s independence prevents scenarios where you find yourself taking over responsibilities, like speaking to their college professor. Supporting your child in developing emotional well-being is the best gift you can offer and is the core mission of Parents with Confidence. Here are the most read and discussed articles from the past year that can guide your child toward social and emotional health.
