Mandy Grass, a parenting coach, emphasizes the importance of allowing children to express their feelings rather than immediately reassuring them, which may inadvertently reinforce negative behavior.
Grass shares her own experience with her daughter who initially expressed feelings of being unloved, demonstrating how understanding and open dialogue led to better communication about emotions.
She advocates for creating a space for children to share their true feelings, which ultimately helps them articulate their emotions better instead of seeking attention through self-deprecation.
Building emotional literacy in kids is crucial; Grass highlights that her daughter's ability to express feelings like jealousy and need for attention has greatly improved.
