These are helpful words to say to yourself when you are feeling big feels or responding to someone feeling big feels!

To decrease stress and distress and become more calm is so often what's needed when a child becomes overly worried/ stressed/ distressed/ overwhelmed. Yet there's a big difference between a child (or indeed an adult) receiving the message that they "should" be calmer as opposed to receiving the message that they are being helped to feel more calm.

To support the child to come out of high stress or distress, they need to know that help is being offered, that upsets are understood and being listened to with care and sensitivity. This kind of empathy and validation will likely have a much more calming and reassuring effect than the instruction to calm down, which generally doesn't help the child and indeed can add a lot of pressure, hence more stress. Empathy helps a child feel more safe and secure. ore calm state without repressing their feelings.
