Helping Hands Playschool

Miss Crystal is having fun on Mondays, Wednesday mornings and Fridays. Please join her for crafts, games and play time.

Don't race ahead and try and fix it, don't give them lots of things to do or think, just stop. When we stop with our child we are putting aside everything else and just focusing on them. They feel like you are with them and that they aren't alone.

Label the feeling and the need for your child: “you seem really frustrated”, “you really want my attention right now”, “you seem to need a lot of cuddles at the moment”, “it feels good to be first”. Make sure you are willing to be corrected by your child. You may get the feeling or need wrong. That’s okay, but make sure you have your child try and explain what they think is going on. As you do this your child will start to feel understood. Just feeling like a parent sees their perspective will have a huge impact. When we do this we are also helping our children to recognise what is happening so that as their brain develops they can make this connection without having to jump straight to behaviour to communicate for them.
