Dear Dr. Donna, How can I get my daughter to talk about her emotions?
It is always a challenge when we know our children are experiencing big emotions and they don’t have the knowledge or tools to appropriately express them or are reluctant to talk to us about how they are feeling. How do we help them to know they can come to us and talk to us about how they are feeling? It starts with us!
Given children learn by imitation and observation, start by being their beacon, their role model. for how best to handle emotions and difficult situations.

At Housman Institute, we believe our role is to nurture the social, emotional, and cognitive well-being of all students and educators without bias. It is critical that every child feel recognized and validated from their earliest days—to understand that their voice matters, regardless of background or experience and is being heard. We listen to, respect and support the needs of our educators as we recognize their critical role in a child's emotional growth and development. Together we need to begin the important work to help all our children and educators, as we move toward a more equitable environment for early learning, setting the stage for the building blocks of empathy and conflict resolution, and a more equitable future for us all.
