EP 76 - Joanne Light - How to Feel Comfortable With Your Emotions

The Parent & Teen Toolbox - A podcast by Cai Graham - Martedì

Categorie:

Parents are being encouraged more and more to talk to their children about how they are feeling. But for many of us, this is quite hard as it’s not something that comes naturally to us.   The thing is that we have to model the behavior that we wish to see - so first of all we have to be comfortable with what we are feeling as parents - before we can understand what our kids are going through.   In this episode, I talk with Joanne about how negative emotions are just as important to acknowledge as positive feelings AND how exactly we can tune into what we are feeling.   We will be using the acronym R.U.L.E.R : ✔️ Recognise ✔️ Understand ✔️ Label ✔️ Express ✔️ Regulate This is a great reminder - and we can teach our kids this handy tip as well. Want to know more? Then grab a cuppa - and keep listening! ~~~~~ More about Joanne : Joanne is an expert with a doctorate in counseling and education.   She is certified in coaching and emotional intelligence training.   After 30+ years in education as a teacher, counselor, and higher education administrator, Joanne decided to create a retirement career in coaching.   However, more important than any credential, life experience as a parent has truly led her to her passion for working with families like yours and mine.   Joanne fully understands firsthand - parents’ feelings of burnout, helplessness, and stress.
