12 Tips For Creating The Right Environment Within Your Family

Talk About Feelings

Trying to hide your emotions from your kids will confuse them. They don’t need the details of adult problems. But you can let them know when you’re sad, angry, or feeling overwhelmed. Talking about your feelings shows your children that everybody has feelings and models how to cope with them.

And don’t tell your kids how they feel. Hushing them, saying things like, “You’re not hurt,” or “You’re fine,” teaches them to suppress and stuff their feelings.
