Often, when children express their emotions or share their experiences, they're not necessarily seeking solutions or advice right away. Instead, they're seeking empathy, validation, and acknowledgment from those they trust.
When a child shares their emotions or experiences, they're essentially inviting you into their world, wanting you to understand what they're going through and how they feel. By acknowledging their emotions and experiences, you're demonstrating that you're present, listening, and empathetic.
It's important to validate their feelings by expressing understanding and empathy before moving on to offering advice or solutions. This approach fosters a deeper connection and trust between you and your child, strengthening the parent-child relationship.
Remember, sometimes just being there to listen and support without trying to fix things right away can be incredibly powerful for your child's emotional well-being and the bond you share with them.
