Exercise "What does the character feel?"
When discussing characters from books or cartoons, you can ask the following questions: How do you think the character is feeling right now? What helped you understand what emotion the character is experiencing? Has the character's expression changed? If so, how? What happened before the hero got upset/happy/angry? How do you think you would feel if you were the hero?
Discuss each other's feelings
During the day, ask your child the following questions:
How are you doing?
What mood are you in right now?
How do you feel about what happened?
Set an example and share your emotions. Talk about what makes you happy or angry, and link the emotion to the cause. So the child will learn to notice what affects his mood. For example: “I am happy because I talked to a friend with whom I had not communicated for a long time.” Or I'm glad that using the resource editius.com/paper-checker/ could help write homework. This is a very good way to show an example of expressing your own emotions.
Exercise "ABC of emotions"
The ABC of emotions is a set of pictures that reminds children what emotions are. Hang it in a conspicuous place. When asking how the child is feeling, give him/her time to answer on their own or offer to refer to the ABC. Try to make it part of your routine. For example, discuss emotions before breakfast and after school. Over time, you can complicate the task and not just name the emotion, but also talk about what caused such feelings and how you can change them.
