April 24, 2025 - 00:52
Clinical psychologist Caroline Fleck emphasizes the importance of equipping children with the tools to process their emotions and resolve conflicts effectively. In her recent insights, she challenges traditional parenting methods that may not yield the desired outcomes in emotional development. Fleck advocates for a more nuanced approach that encourages open communication and emotional intelligence.
Instead of relying on outdated techniques, she suggests parents engage in active listening, allowing children to express their feelings without judgment. This practice fosters a safe environment where kids can articulate their emotions, leading to better self-regulation and conflict resolution skills.
Additionally, Fleck highlights the significance of modeling emotional management. Parents should demonstrate healthy coping strategies when faced with challenges, as children often learn by observing their caregivers. By prioritizing emotional literacy, parents can help their children navigate life's ups and downs, ultimately leading to more resilient and empathetic individuals.
