The emotional wave
Welcome parents!
This Mindly video helps parents better understand the emotions of their children and teenagers. Emotions are natural reactions that influence behaviour, relationships, and learning. The wave metaphor shows that emotions rise, reach a peak, and then naturally fall back down. Recognising and validating them allows the child to feel understood, safe and supported. Compassionate support promotes emotional well-being and socio-emotional development.
