Child

I’m always moving, constantly growing, and learning more and more about my world every day. It can be exciting, but it can also be a little overwhelming sometimes. I’m going to be eager every day to explore, but I need you to support me by paying attention to my energy and moods. When I seem happy, encourage me to keep exploring! If I seem sad, comfort me and try to understand why I am upset. If I’m angry or tired, acknowledge my feelings first, then help me redirect my attention to other things so that I can learn about the things around me when I’m best able to. Help me recognize these different feelings by naming them for me and letting me know all of my feelings are ok.
