Have you ever looked at your child's behaviour and wondered, "Why are they acting like this?" In this episode of Ask Deb, we're looking beyond the behaviour to uncover the emotions underneath.Children don't always have the words to explain how they're feeling, so their emotions often come out through their behaviour. When we understand what our children are really trying to communicate, we can respond with empathy while helping them build emotional intelligence and resilience.In this episode I answer these questions:💛 Why does my son laugh when someone gets hurt or when he's being told off? Is he being unkind?💛 My son says he's "just not good enough" and has lost confidence. How can I help?💛 Why has my child become so bossy when playing with other children?💛 My daughter cries whenever someone else is upset. Is she just too sensitive?Together we'll explore what's really happening beneath these behaviours and, more importantly, how you can support your child with understanding, confidence and connection.Remember, behaviour is communication. When we become curious instead of critical, we help our children understand themselves—and that's where emotional intelligence begins.If you found this episode helpful, please Like, Subscribe and Share so we can help more parents raise emotionally intelligent, resilient children.If you have a question you'd like me to answer in a future episode of Ask Deb, submit your question hereYou can find my free EQ course here!
