As a parent or educator, you may have noticed that children of all ages are experiencing challenges when it comes to regulating emotions, especially in the face of adversity or a challenging or non-preferred activity. Jacqueline and Robin were excited to be joined by guest expert and author Joy Gallivan during this week’s episode. Joy’s book, Mystery Feelings: A Guide to Feeling Identification, has been flying off the shelf. Joy will share some of her favorite ways she teaches children to regulate emotions in fun and engaging ways. All children struggle at certain points with emotional regulation, but no worries, Joy shares lots of ideas to navigate those times as well.

Listeners will leave with helpful ideas, and the best part, as a result, will see increased growth and connections within the family. We would love to hear from you. Continue to reach out and share your thoughts; we are all in this together. As they say, it really does take a village to raise our children.

Mystery Feelings helps children to discover how others are feeling by identifying physical characteristics, or "clues" in their environment. When we understand how other people are feeling, it guides our interactions with them. Developing these skills early on in life helps to support positive peer interactions, self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation.
