①Feelings are difficult to do with, especially for a 4-year-old who doesn't know why his mum won't let him eat another cookie and an 8-year-old who is unhappy that his dad got called back to work and has to leave the playground early.
②For parents, it's very important to begin teaching kids about their feelings as early as possible because their feelings influence(影响) every choice they make. Kids who understand their feelings are less probably act out by getting angry or fighting with others. They can use clear sentences to express their feelings.
③A good way to help kids deal with feelings is to discuss the different feelings how different roles in TV series may feel. When watching TV a parent could stop and ask the kid, "How do you think he feels right now?" Then, discuss the feelings that person may experience and the reasons.
④Doing so also teaches empathy. Young children think the world centers around them, so it can be an experience for them to learn other people have feelings too. When young children can understand other people's feelings, they are less likely to do bad things to them. For example, if a child knows that pushing his friend to the ground may make his friend mad and sad, he will do so less.
⑤Teaching a kid about feelings will help him become mentally(精神上)strong. Kids who have the skills to deal with their feelings will be so confident that they can handle(处理) whatever they meet in their life.
