•Teaching our children to identify, understand, and deal with their emotions and big feelings at a young age will help them grow to be mentally resilient, self aware, and confident.
•Children who can identify and understand their own and others' emotions are not only better at regulating their responses to strong emotions, and can also gauge a situation and respond appropriately.
•Self regulation (the ability to calm, relax, and soothe yourself) is also key in helping them build socio-emotional skills in their interaction with others.
•These tools will benefit them for a lifetime.
