CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 112
Award-winning author, Maureen Healy is my guest on this week’s episode to talk all about emotions. When you think that our brains aren’t fully developed until our mid-twenties, it puts into perspective how difficult it is to deal with ever-changing emotions at the age of, say, 8 years old. My guest, Maureen, talks about her book ‘The Happiness Workbook for Kids’, and how it can help you as a parent or teacher to teach kids how to deal with emotions in a healthy way.
The topics we cover in this episode are;
Why Maureen decided to write the book
Emotions are temporary so how do you deal with them at that moment?
There are no bad emotions
Patience is key with learning how to let difficult emotions pass
Why you should celebrate wins
How thinking of the science of brain development can help
What are the best activities in getting kids to stop, think and make better choices?
