Конни и неприятности

Parents often think that children get upset over trifles. If you didn't press the button in the elevator first — you'll press it next time. If a cup with a pony broke — it's not a big deal, we'll buy... a new one. In our eagerness to cheer up the child, we often devalue their feelings, but for them, every incident is important, and every disruption of the plan is a catastrophe of global proportions.Our parental task is to provide the child with support and show them how to cope with disappointment, distress, and anger. At the same time, inspire them to seek solutions in difficult situations.Connie's day didn't start well from the morning: Dad's cup broke, ice cream fell right into a puddle, and the cat tore her favorite teddy bear. Anyone would get upset in such a situation. But Connie didn't dwell on it for long because her parents were nearby, ready to listen to her, comfort her, and help solve the problem.

Along with Connie, your child will:
learn to cope with negative emotions;realize that troubles happen to everyone;understand how important it is not to give up but to look for a solution to the problem.
