What a great reminder for parents (and everyone else) as we approach the giftgiving time of year. no matter the holiday you are celebrating, remember that emotions are innate, but words for them are not.
Thank you Dr. Becky at Good Inside for this wonderful reminder!

Imagine this: You’ve been saving up to buy yourself a certain coat. You love it. You’ve been thinking about it for weeks. You go to the store to get it and the salesperson says, “Oh! We don’t have that one anymore. But look at all the ones we DO have!” You groan and whine, “What? No!!” Are you “ungrateful”? Or are you... disappointed? “Un-feelings” aren’t a thing. Ungratefulness is not a helpful framework because we are focusing on what a child’s experience isn’t instead of what a child’s experience is. Let’s re-frame things: “My child has trouble regulating frustration and disappointment... hm, is this true for my child outside of gifts too? Is this true when working on hard projects? Can I help her with this, not for the sole purpose of having less cringe-worthy gift moments but to build distress-tolerance skills for multiple areas of life?” NOW we are onto something. It is us and our child against a problem. We can see our kid as a good kid and ourselves as a good parent, and from here we can make change. What questions do you have about this topic?
