On this episode We’ll learn to handle our big wild feelings with a technique called name it and tame it.
Parents, “name it to tame it” can be a helpful tool for kids learning to manage difficult emotions, and it can be especially helpful if you apply it in conversations as well. You may be able to identify the name of an emotion more readily than your child. When they tell you about something that happened, you may help by saying things like “it sounds like you are frustrated,” “that must have felt scary,” “it seems like you feel sad about that.” Not only does this help them identify and manage their feelings, it also lets them know that you hear them and understand what they are experiencing.
“Name it to tame it” was coined by author and psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Siegel in his book The Whole-Brain Child. Hear him discuss this idea in this video clip. Read more about the concept here:
