Description: During this pandemic, supporting children’s emotional and mental health is a critical role for parents and caregivers. Emotional literacy refers to the ability to identify and express emotions in healthy ways; to feel, understand and tell the difference between complex emotions; and to express and self-regulate emotions in social situations. It is a skill that begins to develop during early childhood and continues throughout adulthood. It is an important skill for all children, especially children of determination who may have difficulty understanding, identifying and expressing their emotions. An essential building block of emotional literacy is learning the names for feelings; lots of names for lots of feelings. In this session parents will learn several ways to facilitate the development of emotional literacy and ways to support children’s mental health.
