2.17 How to Validate BIG emotions even when they are irrational
Sometimes we will say, HOW CAN I VALIDATE MY KID'S EMOTIONS WHEN THEY ARE SOOO IRRATIONAL?
Remember validation does not mean you agree
Validation is a response that shows you accept another person's feelings and point of view, even if you don't agree
We all have different perspectives and experiences
Validation communicates… you believe their experience/emotions are valid
You don't intend to correct them, minimize, change or dismiss their emotions
Dismissive comments will communicate to your child that the way they're feeling is wrong. And hurts your relationships
An empathetic non-judgmental response will communicate…
That you hear your child and understand why they feel the way they do. It strengthens your relationship.
