💛 Your child’s meltdown isn’t misbehavior; it’s communication.
When big feelings take over, kids need tools to find their calm, and you can help guide them there.
5 ways to teach emotional regulation at home:
1️⃣ Name the feeling: “It sounds like you’re feeling frustrated.”
2️⃣ Create a calm corner: Soft pillows, gentle lighting, sensory toys.
3️⃣ “Flower & candle” breathing: Smell the flower 🌸, blow the candle🕯.
4️⃣ Model calm: Let them see you pause, breathe, and reset.
5️⃣ Feelings chart: Great for nonverbal expression.
✨ At Lumiere, we help turn big emotions into lifelong coping skills.
💬 Which of these tips will you try first? Or share one that works in your home!
