Kids can’t behave right when they don’t feel right. It is important for us to acknowledge and accept our little one's feelings. We can help our kids name their feelings, and give them the necessary vocabulary to do it. When we say "But..." we essentially tell children their feelings are wrong. If we use "The problem is..." it suggests there is a problem to solve, and doesn't wipe out the feelings. I especially love how the authors focus on using "I" messages, rather than "You" which feels accusatory. There are some good tools for caregivers, and real life scenarios included in the book.
