226 Constance Lewis: Using Colors To Get Through Big Feelings


Listen Later

Hey Friends~ 

BIG Feelings are so hard!  It’s confusing! And sometimes really disruptive. 

Give yourself grace parents, become curious.  

What if we could understand how our child felt by looking at the color that they chose to wear?  Wouldn’t that be amazing and helpful?!!

Today’s guest decided to combine her child’s interests with colors to create a way to help him communicate better after an acquired language loss.  You will learn her story and how she helped her little one regain a way to communicate better again. 

Many times we as parents want to get our kids out of their icky feelings. The reality is that we want our children to walk through their feelings and to feel their feelings. This is an important part to learning self-regulation. We must allow our children to experience their feelings. 

Constance Lewis shares her story and the children’s book she wrote to support all children.  

Always cheering you on,

Dinalynn
