RECIPE #1
The Recipe to Raise Emotionally Strong and Resilient Kids to Bring More Calm and Happy to Your Home
Teach kids how feelings work so communicating feelings will work better for the entire family. When kids aren’t skilled at managing their big feelings, their behaviors can be worrisome or even hurtful. Research shows that kids who can handle their emotions and “bounce back” from upsetting moments do far better in school and in life. This recipe reminds that, all feelings are okay, but all behaviors are not!
RECIPE #2
The Recipe to Create Resilient Kids that “Bounce Back” from Mistakes and Challenges
Everyone makes mistakes. Everybody gets a redo so we can do better because we know better.
RECIPE #3
Starting The Recipe to Unlock Your Child’s Inner World
Life is a mixed bag of feelings. Strengthen family bonds by making feeling check-in’s a regular part of how your family rolls. Think about it. We check-in on so many other levels with family members on where everyone has to be and when. Taking the time to check-in and get an emotional weather report just makes sense, as feelings that are felt and shared can also be helped and supported when needed.
RECIPE #4
The Recipe to Calm and Help Your Child’s Feelings So They Don’t Default to Meltdowns, Tantrums, or Shutdowns
BIG feelings can fuel meltdowns, tantrums and/or shutdowns. Compassionate listening is key as a child who is heard and understood is more likely to be open to create a positive plan for the next time this FEELING situation happens. Then, act it out (the plan) so your child will not have to act out.
RECIPE #5
The Recipe to Stop the Fighting and Decrease Challenging Behaviors
All feelings are okay. All behaviors are not. We want to stop challenging behaviors not feelings. Remember, kind kids from kind homes can do unkind things. Suggest a redo so your child can practice handling this emotional moment in a kinder way.
RECIPE #6
The Recipe to Emotion Coach Your Child’s Hurt Feelings
People who care what others are feeling can respond in more caring ways. Compassion makes everything better but not perfect.
RECIPE #7
The Recipe for More HAPPY and Positivity in Your HOME
Kimochis Feeling Pillows and images can be used in simple ways to create family connections and traditions. Here are a few touching ways to get started. Enjoy happier kids and a happier home because families that make time to create positive feelings, feel better and therefore will do better when emotions run high as life is a mixed bag of feelings!
“ELLEN’S COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES HAVE CHANGED THE WAY MY FAMILY AND I COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND HAVE IMPROVED THE WAY I CONNECT WITH OTHERS – HER TOOLS WORK FOR ADULTS AND COWORKERS, TOO! I HAVE SEEN REMARKABLE CHANGES IN MY CHILDREN AND SELF AS A RESULTS OF WORKING WITH HER AND LEARNING FROM HER.”
