By learning about emotional literacy and how to express their needs, children build a healthy sense of self-awareness. They must learn to read emotions. In other words, we need to teach emotional literature to children so that they can develop better interpersonal skills. Recognizing and then verbalizing emotions will help children to understand them. Beginning in early childhood, we must help children to develop greater emotional agility using simple techniques to calm down after feeling an intense emotion, whether positive or negative (Jasmin Roy Foundation, 2019).

The Jasmin Roy Foundation created three short videos educators can use with children to teach them how to find calm, emotional balance and a total well-being. You can watch the videos on their website or just below:

If you want to limit the time young children spend in front of a screen, which is a very good idea, think of learning the strategies yourself and teach them to your children on your own.
